Abstract
This poster explores the impact and efficacy of a novel web platform designed to enhance productivity and engagement within the academic community. The platform amalgamates several critical areas: Journals, Conferences, Calls for Papers, Courses, Jobs, and Projects, each tailored to streamline processes related to scholarly activities. Specifically, the “Journals” section facilitates editors in managing submissions and peer reviews efficiently; “Conferences” offers a comprehensive toolkit for organizers to handle submissions, registrations, and presentations; “Calls for Papers” serves as a centralized hub for journal and conference managers to publicize their needs; “Courses” provide an interactive space for academics to disseminate and assimilate knowledge; the “Jobs” section is a resource for institutions to list academic vacancies, connecting potential employers and employees; lastly, the “Projects” section enables researchers to recruit students, participants, and sponsors for their research endeavors.
This integration not only simplifies the logistical aspects of academic endeavors but also opens avenues for advanced data processing, analytics, and visualization. The poster discusses how centralizing these functions in one platform leads to more robust data collection and analysis, offering insights into scholarly trends, engagement patterns, and the efficacy of different academic activities. By harnessing the power of data analytics, this platform can potentially predict future academic needs and trends, facilitating proactive adaptations in the scholarly community.
Furthermore, the poster presents the result of a study in which we evaluated the potential for this platform to the way academics interact with scholarly materials, manage their professional responsibilities, and engage with the global academic community. In our study, we used a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data derived from the platform’s analytics with qualitative feedback from its users. Finally, based on our findings, we outline recommendations for further enhancements and potential areas for future research, particularly in the realm of predictive analytics and personalized academic experiences.
