Abstract
Technology development has proved crucial in analyzing and processing the volume of scientific information that is generated today. Governments are developing scientific and technical information systems that, beyond a database, are a real tool for supporting research management and decision-making in the field of science and technology policy. For the development of higher education in Morocco, the ministry has focused on projects for the management and development of university research. For this purpose, Abdelmalek Essaadi University developed an efficient application dedicated to the management of collaborative extranet called SIMarech (Moroccan Information System of Scientific Research), in order to support, organize and structure all academic activities. It will enable all university stakeholders to use a digital workspace specific to their roles, to access and share information, and interact and engage in national scientific research. This article presents an overview of research management systems and the design and development of SIMarech, which is designed as a tool for monitoring research conducted by a university or other institutions.
Highlights
Governments want high-level universities because the modern economy is based on scientific research and highly skilled human capital
For a good piloting of scientific research, an information system becomes a mandatory condition to manage better investments in science in order to evaluate the performance of research and to establish a solid policy for the development of scientific research [3]
GLOBAL RESEARCH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS OVERVIEW Global research management has benefited greatly from the development of research management systems that reflect the research results generated in universities and research centers, organizations, institutions, etc
Summary
Governments want high-level universities because the modern economy is based on scientific research and highly skilled human capital. For a good piloting of scientific research, an information system becomes a mandatory condition to manage better investments in science in order to evaluate the performance of research and to establish a solid policy for the development of scientific research [3]. To this end, Moroccan universities have decided to adopt the digital application called SIMarech set up by Abdelmalek Essaadi University, which aims to develop an information system initiative whose ultimate goal is to support researchers and enhance their scientific activities. SIMarech can be defined as a set of people, processes and equipment designed, built, operated and maintained to collect, record, process, store, retrieve and display information about the activities and results produced by the researchers in their development centers or in collaboration with other national or international institutions
