It matches > researchers on your campus or research center with their publication > data and mines that data to see collaborations, create visualizations > of areas of research, and find experts in research areas. With BibApp, > it is easy to see what publications can be placed on the Web for > greater access and impact. BibApp can push those publications directly > into an institutional repository. > > BibApp allows researchers and research groups to promote research, > find collaborators on campus, and make research more accessible. It > also allows libraries to better understand research happening in local > departments, facilitate conversations about author rights with > researchers, and ease the population of the institutional repository. > Finally, BibApp allows campus administrators to achieve a clearer > picture of collaboration and scholarly publishing trends on campus. > > BibApp is the result of a collaboration between the University of > Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. > The Illinois Informatics Institute at the University of Illinois > (https://www.informatics.illinois.edu/icubed/) provided generous > funding for the development of the 1.0 release of BibApp. > > BibApp is a Ruby on Rails application, coupled with the Solr/Lucene > search engine, and either MySQL or PostgreSQL as its datastore. It > uses open standards and protocols such as OpenURL and SWORD and > automatically pulls in data from third party sources such as Google > Books and the Sherpa/Romeo publisher policy database. BibApp imports > publication data in RIS, MEDLINE and Refworks XML bibliography formats > and exports data in several citation formats (APA, Chicago, IEEE, MLA, > more) via CiteProc.
