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
- quickly adapt processes to changing regulations, evaluation criteria, and university strategies—without involving the IT department
How does it fit into the university ecosystem?
Direct integrations
- solution provides direct integration with DSpace / DSpace CRIS (publications, authors, projects) as well as HR, ERP, and academic administration systems
Low-code engine
- the low-code platform serves as a central process and decision-making engine, linking repository data with actual academic management
Modular architecture
- flexible, scalable architecture allows for expansion from individual processes to comprehensive coverage of the entire research area of the university
Flexible implementation
- can be deployed in an on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid model, tailored to the institution’s needs and IT strategy
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
