Implementing geographic information systems in academic paper search: A framework and case study: GISAPS
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Geographic Information Systems Academic Publication Search (GISAPS) project pioneers the integration of spatial data into academic research through a novel online platform. Utilizing Web Map Service (WMS) and advanced search functionalities, GISAPS enables efficient access and analysis of georeferenced academic publications. This paper outlines the development and capabilities of GISAPS, including experimental WMS layer integration for enhanced data visualization. Key contributions include facilitating interdisciplinary research, improving spatial data accessibility, and promoting open science through its open-source framework. GISAPS's implications for academia and the research community are significant, offering new avenues for data-driven research and education. Future enhancements aim to incorporate real-time data feeds, advanced spatial analysis tools, and mobile accessibility, ensuring GISAPS remains at the forefront of GIS technology in academic settings.
