In summary, the formulated plan included the following major groups of functionalities:
👤 Development of person-profile linking
To better highlight the researchers who contribute information to the registry, we propose adding a link between them (currently represented only as plain text) and their profile on an established platform (ORCID, MRH, or another).
🔐 Automation of the account creation process
To speed up the administration of information, we propose the automation of the account creation process. Invited researchers will be able to complete/edit their information themselves (not through a general system administrator, as is currently the case).
📊 Improvement of the information structure for each survey
Following intensive use of the system, several necessary changes to the original metadata structure related to each survey have been identified. We have created a new metadata scheme modified based on these conclusions.
🔁 Import-export templates
The platform will allow the export of lists with all the fields and all possible options (values). Based on this, we will define and streamline a process of saving a template that can be easier filled-in for improving the data-submission activity.
🔭 Source-code publishing
Publishing code is important for collaboration, transparency, and growth. It allows developers to share their work with a global community, receive feedback, and contribute to open-source projects. By making code publicly accessible, others can learn from it, report issues, or improve it through contributions. This not only enhances the quality and reliability of software but also helps build a developer’s portfolio, demonstrating their skills and commitment to best practices in software development.
All these functionalities have been implemented by youngminds (in relation with other partners of the project).
