Problem

• A supervisor may supervise many research students, and it is difficult to keep track of their research progress ad hoc.

• In evaluating a dissertation, supervisor and examiners give many feedback to research student for revision. It is essential for student to review all the feedback in a file.

• In literature survey, there may be 50-100 reference papers for M.Phil or Ph.D students to refer in their thesis. It is important for them to retrieve these articles handy online for reference rather than binding them together in hardcopy in their research studies.
