Research Repository Specification

As a researcher, I want to have a dedicated repository where I can collaborate with others, store research data, and track research progress to facilitate effective teamwork and knowledge sharing.

Acceptance Criteria

• Researchers can create a new research project within the repository.
• Each project can have multiple collaborators with varying permission levels.
• Researchers can upload, download, and manage files relevant to the research.
• The platform supports version control for research documents.
• Activities within the project are logged for audit purposes.
• Collaborators can communicate within the project context via an integrated chat system.
• The repository is searchable by keyword, project name, or researcher name.
• Users are notified of updates or changes within their projects.
