GRADIS: A Comprehensive System for Academic Contribution Tracking and Evaluation at Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu

Abstract

Academic institutions face increasing pressure to systematically track and evaluate faculty contributions across teaching, research, and administrative activities. This paper presents GRADIS (Grila de evaluare a Activitatii Didactice si Stiintifice - Grid for Evaluation of Teaching and Scientific Activity), a comprehensive web-based system developed for Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu (ULBS) to address these challenges. GRADIS provides a unified platform for managing academic contributions across multiple dimensions including scientific publications, teaching activities, student guidance, and administrative responsibilities. The system integrates with external academic databases such as Crossref, Web of Science, and Scopus to automate data collection and validation, while supporting flexible reporting and evaluation workflows tailored to Romanian academic standards. Built using Spring Boot and Vue.js, GRADIS demonstrates how modern web technologies can be effectively applied to academic administration, achieving significant improvements in data quality, process efficiency, and compliance with institutional evaluation frameworks.
