DSpace Low-code
DSpace Low-code
Flexible management of research processes without coding
What is DSpace Low-code?
Universities today hold rich data about their research output in DSpace — yet rarely use it operationally to manage research activities. Decisions are made on the basis of spreadsheets, manual summaries and information scattered across multiple sources. DSpace Low-code changes this: it enables the digitalisation and automation of research processes that draw data directly from the repository and translate it into concrete decisions, assessments and management actions. With a low-code platform integrated with DSpace, processes can be built and modified without writing code — quickly, flexibly and in line with the evolving needs of the institution.
Key benefits
Data from DSpace actively supports research management – not just the collection of output
Consistency between research output and the university’s decision-making and evaluation processes
Elimination of manual summaries, spreadsheets and information silos
Full project lifecycle management – from grant application through to settlement and reporting
Flexibility without building dedicated systems from scratch -rapid adaptation to regulatory changes
Implementation delivered by PCG Academia – DSpace Platinum Service Provider – guaranteeing the highest service standards and years of experience in the academic environment
Key features
Publication strategy management
planning, monitoring of publication targets and analysis of output against the university’s strategy — fed directly by data from DSpace
End-to-end grant processes
full lifecycle support: from funding opportunity search and application submission, through approval and own-contribution allocation, to project management, settlement and reporting to external systems
Periodic employee evaluation
automatic population of assessments with data from DSpace — publications, citations, project roles — with no manual data collection required
Specialist process management
patent applications, research equipment, Article Processing Charges (APC), commercialisation of research results — all within a single environment
Low-code flexibility
rapid adaptation of processes to changing regulations, evaluation criteria and institutional strategies — without involving the IT department
How does it fit into the university ecosystem?
Direct integration with:
- DSpace / DSpace CRIS (publications, authors, projects)
- HR, ERP and student administration systems
Low-code as a process and decision engine — connecting repository data with real research management
Modular and scalable architecture — from individual processes to comprehensive coverage of the entire research management area
Available as an on-premise, cloud or hybrid deployment
Proven approach, real results
A solution that enables the digitalisation and automation of research processes — eliminating silos between the repository, operational workflows and management decisions.
Built on a mature low-code platform used across public institutions and academic organisations
A single, coherent data flow: repository → process → decision — with no manual data transfers or loss of information
Ready for:
- changes in evaluation criteria
- new publication strategies
- additional research management modules
