I meant to ask about the relative value. If the consensus is that the two are equally valuable and equally important, that is instructive. If the opinion is that one is not really important if it comes without the other, or one will have a very significant impact with or without the other, that is also interesting. I am interested if the community feels that one is more crucial than the other. I do not see them as being in opposition.

Absolutely, Stevan .. the two are not in opposition but need to work together .. the CRIS puts the content in the IR in a richer context.
As can be demonstrated by our own setup in St Andrews .. we've had the link between CRIS and OAR for several years .. but without a push from Senior Management [whether mandate, resource, or whatever] have seen little full text content [although over 17000 bib only records].
That is now changing .. both because of funder mandates but also from the ground up as academics begin to see their peers elsewhere quoting download stats etc for their papers.

Does anybody have any thoughts concerning the relative value of a CRIS as
opposed to an OA policy with regard gaining a high impact rating for an
institution's research?
Why CRIS value "as opposed to an OA policy"? Surely the most telling
figure will be CRIS value *in conjunction with an OA policy* (as Keith
Jeffery has been advocating for years).

Not sure what all the factors are but I do find it very
interesting that Denmark tops the rankings but, as we heard at
the euroCRIS conference at beginning of the month Denmark has
only recently agreed a national strategy on OA .. although they
have had a CRIS [Pure] at their Institutions for several years
...
