Keep biographies, affiliations, publications and project relationships together. Researchers maintain their information; reviewers check it before it appears on your website or in research discovery.
A profile on one site, publications in another system, project details in someone’s spreadsheet. Scindu connects these records so institutional knowledge becomes easier to maintain, review, and discover.
Follow the people, decisions and records
from the first input to a useful result.
A connected publication source finds a paper with a similar author name. The institution needs a human decision before treating that attribution as confirmed.
Researcher · publication reviewerA source publication, its identifiers and a possible author match
Open the candidate paper and compare the title, DOI, author list and affiliations with your actual work. Follow the source where a detail is uncertain.
A checked attribution, or an uncertainty that stays visible.
Source coverage depends on the agreed integration. Imported metadata and name similarity are evidence to review, not proof of authorship.
Put approved outputs on the public websiteThe website, data, and research processes are scoped together during implementation. These are the concrete pieces behind this part of the platform.
See the complete university offerGive people a place to maintain their biography, interests, links, and identifiers, with editorial review before public changes take effect.
Connect ORCID and OpenAlex sources to the institution’s publication work. Imported records can be confirmed, corrected, or reviewed rather than silently treated as perfect.
See research groups, project involvement, and outputs as connected records. Keep membership and project permissions explicit.
An internal record can be useful before it is ready for discovery. Preview, approval, and visibility controls keep that distinction clear.
Retain the connection to an institution’s own records. Public indexing should preserve that ownership rather than merge people simply because their names look alike.
Use a clearer research record to discover complementary expertise and put potential collaborators in context.
Proposed additions to the roadmap.
These are planned, rather than current features.
Describe methods, equipment, specialist facilities, and technology readiness alongside research interests.
Let researchers express current interests, capacity, and willingness to join a new project without implying consent from a search result.
Software and implementation are free for universities. We agree the rollout, institutional responsibilities, and research-data scope before onboarding.
Review your current content, people, processes, and institutional structure.
Configure the identity, records, access, and workflows agreed for your unit.
Introduce the next processes and units once the initial scope is working.
