Axsis - Academic and Open Access Information System
Axsis (Academic and Open Access Information System) is a domestic software platform that ensures academic knowledge produced in universities is not only stored but managed with an accurate, reliable, and holistic architecture. By taking open access beyond a standard archiving activity, it handles the entire life cycle of corporate academic knowledge within a strategic ecosystem.
Researcher-Centric Architecture and Library-Focused Design
The foundation of the system is a unique data architecture that centers on the concept of the 'researcher' rather than publications. By assigning a unique identity (ID) number to each academician, data confusion caused by name similarities is prevented, and the publication-author relationship achieves absolute reliability. Designed to alleviate the operational burden of librarians, Axsis simplifies data entry, automates compliance with standards, and minimizes the need for manual intervention.
Holistic Profiles and Advanced Integrations
Axsis transforms the researcher database into an active academic profile showcase. The system works fully integrated with YÖK-sourced academic award, project, and experience data. Furthermore, it presents academic impact on a single screen with summary data taken from platforms such as Google Scholar, SOBIAD, BookCites, and SciVal. In national and international harvesting processes, it performs flawless data exchange with ULAKBİM Harman, OpenAIRE, and Handle.net, increasing the global visibility of the institution.
Data Sovereignty, Security, and Advanced Analysis
Adopting data privacy as a fundamental principle in open access systems, Axsis conducts its statistics and logging processes entirely through its own domestic infrastructure. To prevent the export of corporate data, third-party analysis or advertising tools such as Google Analytics are strictly not used. In this way, institutions can safely analyze publication views, download statistics, and international access trends without compromising data sovereignty.
Flexible Authorization and Sustainable Technology
Using a powerful and flexible FileMaker-based database architecture in the background, the system allows seamless integration with institution-specific APIs and internal university systems. Thanks to its modular structure, the authority of researchers to edit their profiles or add publications is left entirely to the corporate policies of the university and the decision of the library management. Capable of associating publications with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Axsis is a long-term solution partner that can be adapted to every need, from small-scale institutions to giant university structures.
