Research-Nexas 🌟🔬📚

Research-Nexas is a cutting-edge web application designed to create a seamless connection between students, researchers, and stakeholders within a collaborative research ecosystem. The platform empowers students to log in, upload their research papers, view their uploads, and track their evaluations. 🎓📝 They can also access their profile to see their research details and the evaluation criteria set by the stakeholder.

Stakeholders act as research supervisors who can approve student submissions and assign papers to the appropriate faculty members for evaluation. 👩‍🏫📑 Stakeholders also set evaluation criteria, which they can view on their profile. Faculty members, in turn, can review the assigned papers, provide ratings, and evaluate results based on predefined criteria.

This application creates a dynamic, feedback-driven environment where students can improve their research based on faculty evaluations, and stakeholders can ensure quality through customizable criteria. 🌱✨

With Research-Nexas, the future of research collaboration is smarter, faster, and more impactful. 💡📈

Running the Application

Follow these steps to run the Research Nexas

  • Clone this repository in your computer

  • Establishing the database in MySQL Workbench

    • Open MySQL workbench and run these queries

      CREATE SCHEMA user_db;
use user_db;

      create table user_table(
userid INT auto_increment unique primary key,
username varchar(60) not null,
email varchar(80) not null unique,
password varchar(140) not null unique
);

      create table upload_file_db(
sno int auto_increment unique primary key,
userid int not null,
filename varchar(160) not null unique,
filepath varchar(220) not null unique,
status boolean default false,
fac_mail varchar(80) default null,
foreign key(fac_mail) references faculty(email) on delete cascade,
foreign key(userid) references info_table(id) on delete cascade
);

      create table info_table(
id int unique not null primary key,
name varchar(70) not null,
email varchar(80) not null unique,
col_name varchar(180) not null,
state varchar(80) not null,
year int not null,
course varchar(100) not null,
foreign key(id) references user_table(userid) on delete cascade
);

      create table stk_holder(
id int not null auto_increment primary key,
col_name varchar(180) not null,
email varchar(80) not null unique,
password varchar(80) not null unique
);


      create table criteria(
stk_id int not null unique,
college varchar(100) not null,
level1 int not null,
level2 int not null,
level3 int not null,
level4 int not null,
topic varchar(200) default null,
level5 int default null,
foreign key(stk_id) references stk_holder(id) on delete cascade  
);

      create table result(
resultid int not null auto_increment primary key,
result float default null,
userid int not null,
topic1 int not null,
topic2 int not null,
topic3 int not null,
topic4 int not null,
topic5 int default null,
foreign key (userid) references user_table(userid) on delete cascade
);

      create table faculty(
email varchar(80) not null unique primary key,
name varchar(60),
password varchar(120) unique,
token varchar(130) not null unique
);

  • Now open code editor(eg. VS Code)

  • Now run the following commands in your terminal

    npm install

    cd login-system

  • make a .env file in login-system folder and add the following data to this file

    DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 //your default host
DB_USER=root // your user name(by default root)
DB_PASSWORD=mypassword // your password 
DB_DATABASE=user_db
DB_PORT=3306 // databse port
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 3a9af42de397cfc9387a06972c28c23a1ac7e9a60fb6dc1f05295bc6057baf500672d4a13db5d04ea84bbc4c5679164a7723f3d49f516bb73dc3df6e3b768c8e
EMAIL='[email protected]'   // your email
MYPASS='yourmailpassword'

  • You can find yourmailpassword for low protected app(developer use) here- https://youtu.be/nuD6qNAurVM

  • Run the following command

    nodemon dbServer.js

  • Click the link shown in terminal or open your browser and search for-

    http://localhost:3000

  • If you encounter an error Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client, then open MySQL workbench and run these queries for resetting your mysql root password

    ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'your_new_password';

    flush privileges;
