DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC SYSTEM

Abstract

Most research and higher education institutions of Ukraine are funded by the state. Almost all research is conducted mainly in the public sector, while private universities and companies usually do not conduct any research. Public higher education institutions are financed from the state budget and lack of funds is one of the main factors hindering the introduction of new information technologies and systems into the daily routine. Analysis of scientific achievements using bibliographic information has become a significant part of scientific and technical management in many countries around the world, but unlike Slovenia and Poland, Ukraine does not have a single bibliographic database and relevant search interfaces. Therefore, the aim of the work is to develop an automated bibliographic system that will simplify the process of creating, editing, searching, sorting, statistics, deleting bibliographic information of research and teaching staff and will automate the formation of personalized reports. To implement the proposed automated system, a review of existing databases of bibliographic information and search interfaces was conducted. It is concluded that they cannot provide Ukrainian scientists with the necessary functionality to form bibliographic descriptions of their own research papers. To design the architecture of a mobile application based on the Android operating system, a multi-level architecture class and an MVVM template were selected. Designed architecture contains three levels and five layers on which separate subsystems are located. The Pixel emulator and Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus smartphone were used to test the application on different screen sizes, as well as on different versions of the software interface. The application was developed in the AndroidStudio software environment. The design of the entered data according to two standards was implemented, namely: DSTU 8302-2015 and IEEE. Algorithms for searching and sorting records according to the necessary criteria are implemented. Saving the list of all necessary bibliographic descriptions in text format is implemented. Additionally, the possibility of sending it to e-mail is implemented. In the future it is planned to expand the list of standards for bibliographic information and improve search and sorting algorithms.
