Prerequisites

In order to be able to access the page to modify the publications list you will need the following prerequisites:

  1. Have a CS account. All CS students are given such an account when first joining the department.
  2. Connect to the CS VPN or use a machine located in the CS department.
    1. Note that connecting to ODU's VPN will not work for this.
  3. Be a member of the CRTC group (email root@cs.odu.edu to request this)

Updating the publications page

Users can perform the following updates to the page:

  1. Add a new paper/author/venue/minisymposium
  2. Modify an existing paper/author/venue/minisymposium
  3. Remove an existing paper/author/venue/minisymposium

Adding a new paper

In order to add a new paper, the paper's author(s) and the venue/minisymposium it was submitted to must have been already added to the database through the respective links.

Once this information has been added to the database, it will become available at the respective drop-down menus.

An example of the whole process is shown in the steps below.

  • Step 1: Add author (Skip if all co-authors have published at least one paper with the CRTC group):
