dc.description.abstractIn the context of growing academic publication volumes, institutions require efficient systems to organize, manage, and provide access to bibliographic records. Such platforms centralize institutional research output, enhancing visibility, accessibility, and supporting administrative and evaluation processes. In 2019, the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (CIÊNCIAS ULisboa), with approximately over 5,000 students, 540 faculty and researchers, 160 staff, 18 investigation structures, 13 teaching units, and 61 service units, producing around 1000 publications annually, introduced Biblios, a web platform for managing its bibliographic production. Biblios allows users to view, search, add, edit, and export publication records in formats like Excel and BibTeX. It offers advanced search filters (e.g., by department, year, or contributor) and statistical visualizations of publication data. However, the original platform faced limitations: slow search and data export performance, incomplete integration with already existent institutional systems (e.g., Gremius, Census, Fundus) and external services (e.g., CrossRef, ORCID, OpenAIRE), and poor usability and accessibility, therefore in need of an user interface redesign. To address these issues, this report describes the reimplementation of the platform, now called Biblius, with the following objectives: • Mitigate performance and integration issues; • Introduce new features like customizable publication lists, advanced search filters (e.g., sustainable development goals), and more export options (e.g., by research unit or keywords); • Support new document types (e.g., special issue edition, artifact) and parameters (e.g., research projects, countries); • Adhere to the new software development standards set by CIÊNCIAS ULisboa’s IT Services Unit (DSI), that involves using a new technological stack composed by Laravel, Inertia and Vuejs. The new version was evaluated in terms of performance of the new search and export operations. Usability was evaluated through System Usability Scale survey, accessibility with tool Access Monitor. Additionally, user feedback relative to the new functionalities was gathered.en
