ODU-CS Academic Publication Database CS 410 Potential Project Fall 2012 Mentor: M. Weigle
Problem • Both publications data and grant data for Dept of CS are manually entered, static pages • Static web page does not allow for filtering • Poor advertisement of our current research to prospective grad students and faculty • Pages are still accessible, but no longer linked on CS front page
Proposed Project - Part 1 • Develop effective web-based system for display of publications by CS faculty http://mobius.cs.uiuc.edu/pubs http://crtc.wm.edu/html_output/publications_by_year.php
Proposed Project - Part 1 • Suggested things to include • search by author, keyword • sort by year, publication type, keyword, author • allow faculty/students to upload papers, make corrections • allow thumbnail image next to each paper • Dealing with tech reports • generate and assign CS tech report numbers • prepare a nice front page for CS tech reports and place in front of a paper, given a PDF • Generate RSS feed of newly added/published papers that could be displayed on the ODU CS web site
Proposed Project - Part 2 • Manual entry is a pain • it's easier to correct bad entries than enter all data from scratch • Mine various academic publication web sites and build a database of publications for all ODU-CS faculty • ACM Digital Library • IEEE Xplore • Google Scholar • Microsoft Academic Search • I have a MS student who has done some of the publication mining already and who could be a resource • Script would run once/week to search for new publications • could also signup for email alerts from Google Scholar
Proposed Project - Part 3 • Do the same stuff for grants • NSF Award Search • Research.gov Research Spending and Results • NIH RePORTER
