PentaDosen: Lecturer Research & Performance Management Platform
A dedicated research, publication, and academic performance tracking platform for university lecturers.
01. Project Overview
PentaDosen is a dedicated web application designed to simplify how university lecturers document, organize, and monitor their research activities, academic publications, intellectual property (HKI), and performance metrics.
University lecturers are routinely required to report on research grants, publication submissions, patents, and community service milestones. PentaDosen gathers these disparate streams into a coherent, responsive dashboard.
02. The Problem
Prior to having a unified interface, academic staff faced several friction points:
- ✕ Scattered Documentation: Research proposals, journal publications, and HKI certificates were stored across separate documents and email threads.
- ✕ Unclear Performance Visibility: Lecturers had difficulty tracking accumulated research points and grant milestones in real time.
- ✕ Missed Deadlines: Crucial thesis defense schedules, grant submissions, and review deadlines lacked an integrated academic calendar.
03. The Solution
PentaDosen introduces a clean, modular web dashboard that centralizes academic management into several key modules:
📊 Research Analytics & Grants
Live grant totals, H-index tracking, citations overview, and active project counts.
📑 Publication & Milestone Tracking
Categorized tables for journal articles, conference papers, and book publications.
🛡️ HKI & Intellectual Property
Status tracking for Copyrights (Approved), Patents (Pending), and Industrial Designs.
📅 Academic Calendar & Tasks
Monthly timeline for grant deadlines, thesis defenses, and faculty workshops.
