Overview

The NC State University Scholarly Publications Repository, contains citations to over 42,000 scholarly publications produced by NC State-affiliated authors since 1997, with limited pre-1997 publications. A growing number of these citations also provide direct links to a locally archived full-text version of the work, housed and maintained in a DSpace based repository system.

As of 2018, this project has been superceded by the Citation Index.

How We Did It

The Scholarly Publications Repository consists of two interlinking applications. The first of these is a PHP application that provides searchable and browseable access to the citations which are stored in an Oracle database. The second application is a highly customized version of DSpace which houses the full-text items that are lodged in the repository. Apart from the browser based access, the citations are also made available via a web services API that allows interested parties to search and retrieve the data in XML format either for download or for run-time transformation as part of external applications.
