A Web-based System for Publishing Publications to Both Växjö University Library and RICS

Abstract: The Department of Computer Science of Växjö University has a web based system where thesis finished by the students as well as available thesis can be seen. Research work made by the faculty members of the Department is also available here. The Växjö University Library also has a web- based System called DiVA. DiVA stands for Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet (Academic Archive Online). It enables students and researchers to publish their research work to University Library. Students and Researchers can also search, research made by other researchers. Each year researcher/student publishes their result in conference papers, journal articles, thesis report, books etc. These publications should be register both at the Växjö University Library and RICS (Research in Computer Science) web site in a systematic way so to avoid any kind of redundancy and errors. To develop a system which follow the principle” publish once and view every where” is the objective of this project. The System makes it possible to extract the already published publication at DiVA and put that publication’s information into RICS web site. When a user requests for registering a publication, the system should verify whether he/she is eligible to register a publication. If he/she qualifies, that is if he/she is a registered user, then the system will register the publication along with the required information like title, author, date of publication, kind of publication etc. on different Web sites. The web-based publication information system was   implemented in C#.NET. The project was successfully completed but the deliver system requires more live testing.
