Research Discovery
The engine that are crawling into various connectors that have a similar subject interest with UTP. As the major component in Research Gateway, Research Discovery offers more than 4 million hits from the most impactful research agencies and university from all over the world.
Research agencies and universities are selected from the top ranking universities all over the world, with similar research focus to UTP.
Connectors are the databases contain the research publications, articles from journal that are indexed and stored in institutional repositories grown and matured in the agencies.
Hits from those databases will help our researcher, to know what’s are going on in research from other country. The research model, methodology, success stories and other element of experience in research shared in Research Discovery.
Research Discovery: Features and Impact
Researchers use a considerable amount of effort and time to find information sources. A discovery tool that locates and discovers a wide variety of information sources that can be relevant for their research is priceless for them.
Features
- Access To High Quality Content: Discovery research systems play an important role in academic libraries, allowing researchers and students to find access to high-quality content in a more intuitive and accurate way. It changes the way resources are searched: an entire collection can be scrutinized through a single search box. Journal articles, books (or single book chapters), datasets, gray literature, papers, and many other sources can thus be integrated in a single search.
- Research Discovery is the engine that are crawling 24/7 into various connectors that have a similar subject interest with UTP research.
- Research Discovery offers more than 4 million hits from the most impactful research agencies and universities from all over the world
- Research agencies and universities are selected from the top ranking universities around the globe, with similar research.
Impact
- Supporting STEM Initiative
- Cultivating research culture for scientific community
- Promoting research outcome
Visibility and Web Presence
Cost Saving
- Crawler to 4.8 million data from multiple databases, equivalent to one scientific journal subscription worth RM1.7million/year
