Introducing Auto Flow of Information in Establishing Sustainable Armis in Bangladesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Online Agricultural Research Management Information System (ARMIS), developed earlier for managing information of agricultural research projects/programs/experiments was entirely managed by the hired/recruited personnel under project based financial support. Considering the importance of such system for planning and conducting of agricultural research in the context of higher agricultural productivity, it was deemed necessary to develop a sustainable ARMIS application which can be operated under the present structure of research institutions. Thus, the idea of introducing auto flow of information in developing sustainable ARMIS is conceived. The auto flow of information is devised in such a way that the information will be managed within the institution’s own mechanism, thereby no external support is required in the form of financial and/or hired personnel. In the latest version of ARMIS, the activity performed at different user’s level such as entry, checking, verification, submission and final approval of research information needed to be included into the system is accommodated under auto flow information mechanism. The mechanism is well supported by a standard notification system, where the relevant users involved in the process are informed by auto message/ email containing the action taken by the respective users. In addition, the new version of ARMIS will ensure data integrity, authenticity, availability etc. and establish ownership of data by the concerned organization which is very essential for the sustainability of any system. The online ARMIS is linked to the website of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) which is accessible by any users. Besides research planner, ARMIS information is useful especially for the researchers/academics planning to setup new research or want to know the status of existing research in a particular area of interest or of discipline.
