SciPath

From idea through publication

Plan the project. Meet the requirements. Keep the record.

The problemWhich is rarely the research

A good project is lost to a form signed a week late, an approval nobody mentioned, a deadline that moved, or work scattered across a folder, an inbox and somebody else's memory. Those failures are procedural rather than intellectual, they fall hardest on the students with the least help, and software can catch every one of them.

How research goes

Registration through publication, on one page that fills up as the year goes.

  1. Register

    The project exists, with authors.

  2. Work

    Notes, files, shared writing.

  3. Package

    Deliverables and whatever the program requires.

  4. Participate

    A class milestone, a fair, or simply the work itself.

  5. Share

    A permanent record with its own address.

What it doesThree things, plainly

Dates, checked

The forms that must be signed before experimentation begins are checked against the date the work actually started. Getting that order wrong disqualifies students every year, and it is the single failure that no reminder email reliably catches.

Work, recorded

Field notes are appended and timestamped, never edited. A wet lab student photographs a notebook page; a software student pastes a commit summary. Both satisfy the same requirement.

Work, published

A permanent, indexed, citable record with its own URL, so a student can link it from an application years later and it still resolves.
