ResearchMatics

🧭 1. Discover Funding & Research Opportunities

Researchmatics curates a global database of research-related opportunities, including:

• Grants & fellowships
• Scholarships
• Conferences
• Workshops & events
  These are organized by discipline, location, and deadlines, enabling researchers to find relevant opportunities tailored to their goals.

📚 2. Access Research Insights & Articles

The platform features a “Research Spotlight” section showcasing:

• Latest scientific articles and research summaries
• Featured insights across disciplines
• AI-assisted research content
  These help users stay informed about trends, breakthroughs, and domain knowledge that might influence their research.

🧠 3. Resource Database

Available resources extend beyond opportunities:

• A database of open-access journals
• Advanced research tools like bibliographic and article repositories
  This empowers researchers with materials they may not easily find elsewhere.

⚙️ 4. Publishing & Alerts

Researchers can:

• Publish their own articles or findings via quick publishing tools
• Create custom alert feeds tailored to their preferences (e.g., subject area, funding deadlines) once logged in
  This makes Researchmatics not just a discovery portal but an active collaborative knowledge platform.

🌐 5. Global Research Engagement

The platform encourages:

• Networking with global researchers
• Amplifying scientific events to broader audiences
• Tools to share research outcomes with the wider scientific community
  This positions Researchmatics as both a discovery engine and a research outreach platform.

📌 Who It Serves

• Students & early-career researchers seeking funding or insights
• Professors and academic professionals managing research
• Institutions & event organizers wanting to broadcast opportunities
• Global stakeholders looking to connect with research communities

Performance & Core Web Vitals

• Built with high performance in mind, ensuring fast load times even with dynamic lists of opportunities and articles.
• Optimized to achieve excellent Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and minimal First Input Delay (FID) — particularly important for research feeds that render large lists.
• Efficient code splitting and resource loading strategies were used to keep render times consistently low across devices.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

• Semantic, crawl-friendly structure across listings, insights, and resource pages.
• Meta information, structured data, and navigable content hierarchy were implemented for enhanced indexing and discoverability.
• Prioritized organic visibility for research opportunities worldwide — improving reach for users searching for research funding, fellowships, and scientific events.

Accessibility (a11y)

• Fully compliant with WCAG accessibility standards including keyboard navigation and ARIA landmarks.
• Ensured responsive behavior for assistive technologies such as screen readers.
• Contrast ratios, readable fonts, and accessible component design were core parts of the interface build.

Best Practices & Maintainability

• Clean, modular frontend architecture with reusable components.
• Consistent use of coding standards and modern frameworks to ensure long-term scalability.
• Progressive enhancements to support both older browsers and the latest devices.
• Security best practices (e.g., secure auth flows, proper form handling, data sanitization) were enforced.
