Researcher hub: a unified and centralized platform for streamlining researcher profile identification

At Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), it is a standard procedure to check each candidate's record of publications before staff promotions or contract renewals, and the librarian oversees providing this information. However, this procedure becomes challenging when the researcher's profile has a different identification or utilizes a different author's name. Thus, this system aims to streamline the search process by developing a unified and centralized platform that can identify the profiles of UPNM researchers within Scopus, Google Scholar, and ORCID. Researcher Hub aims to provide a seamless and efficient experience for identifying staff profiles while tackling duplicate profiles across those platforms. This system also includes features to search for journal information such as impact factor, quartile and CiteScore within a single platform. Furthermore, the system positively impacts all parties involved, particularly the librarians, who will eventually be able to produce precise publication information.
