PubMan - the eSciDoc Solution for Publication Management: PubMan supports scientists and institutes in the management and the digital curation of their publications. This solution addresses all disciplines and focuses on the target groups of scientists, local librarians and local IT. Due to the heterogeneous policies, cultures and workflows of the Max Planck Institutes, customization and configuration options throughout the solution's features are of major importance.

With PubMan, the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) develops a service-oriented, flexible-to-use institutional repository software. The software is a solution within the eSciDoc project, which is a joint open-source project by the MPDL and the FIZ Karlsruhe.

To keep track of ideas, specifications, concepts, prototypes, communication with partners etc., we use the MPDL CoLaboratory (CoLab) as main documentation and communication channel. All specifications, concepts and ideas are referenced in the category PubMan.

PubMan Quick Start You can have a look at the test installation with the latest release of PubMan. In order to get a full overview on the PubMan functionalities, please log on to the system with the demo account we have created for this issue. User name is "demo" and the password is also "demo". Please also have a look at the short guided tour on PubMan or at the PubMan Functionalities overview page in order to get an impression on the current PubMan Features. In our PubMan Blog you can catch up on recent PubMan developments.

Basic Functionalities/Concepts Basic functionalities For better overview, we divide the basic functionalities of the repository into three main areas of interaction with users and/or systems: Submitting content Managing content (Re-)Using content Basic concepts For proper design of the solution and its features and alignment with conditions applied to other services, you find here an overview of our basic functional concepts. Versioning Control of Named Entities Persistent Identification Collections and Organizational Units Metadata

PubMan Community The development of PubMan, as any other eSciDoc solution, is very community-driven. Based on an overall participation concept, Early Adopters and Pilot institutes from the Max Planck Society are closely involved into the software development life cycle. The communities represent the variety of scientific fields within the Max Planck Society and the different interest groups (scientists, librarians, local IT) for an institutional repository.
