Abstract: The Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) has emerged as a significant platform to showcase the academic, research, and professional profiles of Indian researchers. Its integration with national databases is critical to enhancing research visibility, standardization of metadata, and data-driven academic evaluations. This review explores the current status of IRINS integration with platforms such as ORCID, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Indian repositories like Shodhganga. It highlights the opportunities such integrations offer for seamless scholarly communication, while also identifying technical, policy-related, and adoption-level gaps that hinder full realization of IRINS’ potential. Recommendations for improving interoperability and data governance are also provided.
