Abstract

Academic electronic information archival has evolved far beyond the simple days of creating contents and storing them into local respiratory systems. Nowadays, academic information are already gathered and available in one of many online sites. For instance, an author’s academic publications can be retrieved from Google Scholar website. Google Scholar is more preferable because Google Scholar keeps a record on the citation index for each publication and the citation index are kept on track all the time. The citation index can later be used to give the h-index score of the author. Such information is essential to measure the research competency at the institution level. Currently, UTeM acquires publication records through internal system called URIS system which is a platform that keeps record of all research details of publication information. However, this system requires academicians to submit their publication details into the system manually which could lead to issues such as inefficient data collection, missing data, delayed submission, etc. In this project, a web crawler will be built to retrieve the academic publication information of UTeM staff. With the availability of an effective web crawler for publication data, UTeM can monitor scholarly information in a better way and plan towards increasing the publication index among academic.
