Current university research management systems often face challenges like fragmented functions and data silos, increasing faculty workloads, and hindering efficiency. This article proposes a multifunctional integration pathway centered around data-driven solutions and service enhancement. It advocates for improving systems through measures such as building a unified data platform, integrating research management portals, upgrading intelligent services, and strengthening collaboration and security. The aim is to promote academic innovation in research management services and effectively advance the “streamline administration, delegate powers, improve services” reform in science and technology governance.
