PubMan Functionalities
On this page, all functionalities of the current PubMan release can be found.
Access to content[edit]
- You can run a google-like search (in metadata and full text) by entering a search term in the top search field.
- Try an advanced search for combining different search fields.
- In addition, you can access the data by browsing by organizational units (Organizations Search).
Display and export of content[edit]
- Item lists (i.e. list of references) can be sorted by different criteria, and can be displayed with different level of details (Short, medium views)
- References can be exported in various formats (rtf, pdf, html, odt) and citation styles (currently only APA) or sent by E-Mail. In addition, export to EndNote is possible.
- An Search&Export Service allows user-/local specific queries of data for integration into local systems.
Creation of content[edit]
Depending on the level of detail, logged-in users have two possibilities to submit data:
- Easy Submission: A wizard-based, short entry mask to provide the minimum bibliographic metadata of a publication. In addition, user can choose to fetch metadata from arXiv or upload a BibTeX reference for pre-fill the edit mask.
- Full Submission: Data entry mask (submission mask), which covers the complete bibliographic metadata for detailed descriptions of publications, creators and affiliated organization, publishing information, related events and subject topics.
Quality Assurance of Content[edit]
- automatic validation by the system, based on defined validation points and validation rules. Constraints for validation can be configured for each context (i.e.collection).
- Modification of Metadata after release with appropriate change log (release history).
Configurable Workflows[edit]
PubMan supports the definition of institute specific workflows per context. Currently two publication workflows are implemented:
- simple: In this workflow, the depositor can create items (item state: "pending") and then release them for public view (item state: "released"). After an item has been released by the depositor, it can only be modified by the moderator. After modifying an item, the moderator accepts it (item state: "released"). The option "send back for rework" does not exist in the simple workflow.
- standard: In the standard workflow, the depositor creates items (item state: "pending") and submits them to the moderator for quality check (item state: "submitted"). After evaluating the item, the moderator can either accept the item –making it publicly available (item state: "released") - or send it back to the depositor for rework, in case the item does not conform to the quality standards (item state: "in rework").
Versioning[edit]
- Tracking of working versions (i.e. modifications of metadata)
- Tracking of revisions by relating intellectually revised fulltext versions
Statistics[edit]
- Basic statistics for publication data (Metadata and/or attached fulltexts)
Collections, Organizational Units and Users[edit]
Contexts (i.e.collections), Organizational Units and Users are managed in an own eSciDoc solution, called the eSciDoc Admin Solution. This solution is also available for other eSciDoc solutions like FACES or ViRR.
