English abstract

This study examines the roles and competencies of Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals in supporting Health Research Information Systems (HRIS). A descriptive and analytical research design was used, based on questionnaires, interviews, and secondary sources. Findings show that LIS professionals support research data management, bibliometric analysis, repository management, and research evaluation. Key challenges include limited infrastructure, inadequate training in advanced analytics, and low institutional recognition. Strengthening digital competencies and integrating LIS professionals into research strategies can improve HRIS effectiveness and support data-driven research management.
