RIBAC

RIBAC (Recueil d’Informations pour un oBservatoire des activités de recherche en SHS, compilation of information for an observatory of research activities in humanities and social sciences) is a tool to characterize and quantify the activity of actors in humanities and social sciences research. Since 2011, it has constituted the annual activity report of nearly 98% of researchers in the humanities and social sciences. The data collected in the annual RIBAC and consolidated declarations make it possible to assess the volume of the various activities and publications produced by researchers according to their field of research.

 

RIBAC campaign

Launched on April 23, 2020, the new RIBAC campaign will end on January 7, 2021. Unit Directors (DU) may target RIBACs for researchers until January 15, 2021.

Each researcher is statutorily required to provide a report of his activities every year (article 10 of decree n ° 83-1260 of December 30, 1983). RIBAC is the activity report entry tool for all SHS researchers and the RIBAC form must be completed online via the dedicated application.

In the event of technical difficulties, researchers can contact RIBAC support by sending an email to the following address: inshs.ribac-assistance@cnrs.fr and by consulting the FAQ.

Unit Directors are informed by email as soon as a CNRS researcher from their unit sends them their RIBAC for validation. They should target the RIBAC of all CNRS researchers in their unit. For any questions about RIBAC, unit directors can consult the FAQ.

 

Who must fill-out a RIBAC?

  • Statutory researchers or trainees evaluated by sections 31 to 40, irrespective of their unit of assignment (except for INEE researchers from section 31).
  • INEE researchers assessed by Section 31 had the option in 2019 of completing either CRAC or RIBAC forms.
  • Statutory researchers or trainees assigned to an Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences unit that is examined by a section other than Sections 31 to 40.
