"DCSRepository" is a dedicated web-based repository designed exclusively for the Department of Computer Studies to manage and track all completed capstone papers. The system centralizes all soft copies of capstone projects, making it easier for both students and faculty to access, organize, and verify research work efficiently.

The website addresses the common challenges of managing numerous student projects, ensuring that all capstone papers are properly archived, and eliminating redundancy in title submissions. It also provides instructors and panelists with a reliable tool to verify whether a proposed title has already been submitted or exists in the database.

Key Features:

• Centralized Repository: Stores all completed capstone papers in digital format for easy access by authorized personnel.
• Title Verification: Allows instructors and panelists to quickly verify if a title proposal has already been submitted, preventing duplication of topics.
• Advanced Search and Filtering: Users can search papers by title, author, year, or keywords to locate specific projects instantly.
• Secure Access: Role-based permissions ensure that students, instructors, and administrators have appropriate access to the repository.
• Document Preview: Provides a quick preview of submitted papers without downloading, saving time and effort for reviewers.
• Easy Upload and Management: Students can upload capstone papers with metadata such as title, authors, year, and abstract, while administrators can manage and organize the submissions.
• History and Tracking: Maintains a record of all submissions, revisions, and approvals to support academic auditing and reporting.
• Responsive Design: Ensures accessibility across desktops, laptops, and mobile devices for seamless use within and outside the campus.

Benefits to the Department:

• Streamlines the management of capstone papers and reduces manual tracking efforts.
• Provides instructors with a reliable tool to review, approve, or reject title proposals efficiently.
• Enables students to check for existing titles before submitting proposals, avoiding duplication.
• Improves transparency and record-keeping for the department.
