FTSmart is an AI-powered academic management platform that enables academics working at universities to manage their academic activities, performance processes and institutional contributions within an integrated framework. The system enables the centralised tracking of publications, citations, projects, conference and congress participation, patents, utility models, peer review and editorial roles, research assignments, postgraduate thesis and project supervision, awards, exhibitions and design work, as well as other academic activities.
Thanks to integrations with FTSmart, YÖKSİS, Scopus and Google Scholar, FTSmart supports the automatic transfer of academic data into the system. This enables the up-to-date and verifiable management of academics’ publication, citation and project information. Through DOI integration, activities can be assigned a DOI, and information on works with a DOI number can be automatically transferred into the system.
Within the system, academics can define their academic goals at the start of the year; these goals are recorded following approval by the department head and dean. At the end of the year, a performance assessment can be carried out by comparing actual activities with the set goals. This ensures that academic development processes become measurable and transparent.
Thanks to FTSmart’s AI-powered analysis infrastructure, academics’ activities are analysed by category; recommendations are provided regarding their strengths, areas where they may be lacking, and academic topics in which they could develop further. Furthermore, academics can view their academic performance rankings within the institution and assess their own development at departmental, faculty and university levels.
The platform supports not only individual academic tracking but also institutional academic management. Academic activities can be linked to universities’ research and application centres, working groups and laboratories; thus, relevant activities are displayed not only on the academic’s profile but also on the page of the associated centre, laboratory or working group. This structure facilitates the monitoring of academic productivity at an institutional level within universities.
FTSmart also offers a comprehensive academic digital portfolio with features such as creating academic CVs in accordance with the YÖK format, adding podcast links, and recording teaching, learning and administrative activities. Users can ask questions about the system in natural language and receive AI-powered responses.
Aiming to manage academic processes in a transparent, measurable, analysable and sustainable manner, FTSmart offers a next-generation academic performance and activity management solution for universities.
