Desarrollo de un sistema de toma de decisiones para apoyo a los investigadores ecuatorianos basado en motores de búsqueda y de recomendación : desarrollo de módulo que implemente funciones del tipo red social para los usuarios del sistema CENTINELA.

Abstract

Scientific research in Ecuador has experienced remarkable growth in the last decade. However, researchers still face significant challenges in accessing relevant information and collaborating effectively. This project proposes the integration of the ResNet and ReSearchDecide platforms into a single comprehensive platform called CENTINELA. The new platform aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of scientific research in Ecuador by implementing social network-like functions for users.

The development of component B, an essential part of CENTINELA, included a systematic literature review, the definition of technical and functional requirements, the creation of mockups, the development of the frontend and backend, and the integration of both. Component B allows for user profile management, the creation of publications, and the formation of research groups. The integration of these functionalities promotes academic collaboration and improves access to relevant information for researchers.
