1. Components

SciPaMaTo comprises two dedicated applications, each with its own database:

SciPaMaTo-Core

The main users of SciPaMaTo work with the core module. It serves to enter scientific papers, import from PubMed, and to attach PDFs to papers. It further offers refined searching and filtering capabilities and offers some PDF exports. There will be a basic workflow for papers to differentiate between

• papers that have only been imported/entered with a minimal set of fields

• papers that were entered in full detail, including PDFs, keywords, codes etc.

• papers that were selected to be included in newsletters.

  SciPaMaTo-Core will not be publically accessible.

SciPaMaTo-Public

This application is the public face of SciPaMaTo. It will allow anonymous users from the internet to search the SciPaMaTo database. But not all information that is stored in the scope of SciPaMaTo-Core will be accessible in SciPaMaTo-Public.

2. Languages

The application currently has no explicit language switch but interprets the language settings of your browser.

The user interface is currently implemented in English and in German. It is planned to also support french, but the user interface is not translated yet.

3. SciPaMaTo-Core

3.1. Login

You need to log into the application with a username and password in order to view or modify data.

The users and passwords are stored in the database. In a clean installation, you can use the preconfigured username / password: admin / admin

A proper user management page has not yet been implemented and is subject to further iterations.

3.2. Menu

The menu entires on the left hand side offer the core functionality of SciPaMaTo:

4. SciPaMaTo-Public
