Developing an Institutional Research Records Management System (IRREMS) for the University of Mindanao Research and Publication Center (UM-RPC)
This study focuses on developing a computer-based information system that helps the Research and Publication Center of the University of Mindanao in managing the institutional research records of the University’s teaching and non-teaching personnel. It explores the software requirements of the Center in order to efficiently store research-related data and to conveniently retrieve pertinent reports that the office needs to provide. It then describes the proposed software named Institutional Research Records Management System or IRREMS. The software provides a systematic way of managing records of institutional researches conducted by both the teaching and non-teaching personnel of the University. It keeps track of researchers’ information, as well as organizes the researches in a way that allows for easy access and retrieval through the use of search keywords. The study presents the requirements specification, software process model, software design, and the software development methodology used to create the technical output, which was successfully deployed in the Center.
