Publication Management (PubMan) provides functionalities and user interfaces for the submission of publication data of multiple types, such as article, conference-paper, poster, report, book etc., along with the metadata needed for proper retrieval and long-term archiving.

PubMan manages structured relations between publications as well as between affiliated persons and organizations. The component 'Search & Export' supports the discovery of stored publication items, by a user interface as well as via SRU/SRW. Full-text search within attached files is provided as well. The component 'Browse and Display' displays the actual items according to the individual sorting and filter mechanisms and provides detailed information for the entry. The structured information on affiliated persons and organizational units allows the user to define views and reports on the data under different aspects. Publication items themselves are persistently identified, (the metadata record as well as each file attached), any individual compilation of publication items, e.g. the MPS yearbook, can be published and persistently identified as well (catalogs). PubMan supports versioning for both administering the metadata entries and for identifying of adequate versions of a full-text.

PubMan provides a simple and complex publication workflow, which can be configured for local needs of internal quality assurance. Various export and import formats are supported to facilitate the integration with individual bibliographic management systems, local databases and external systems.

The administration of the system focuses on the needs of different user groups (scientists, local libraries) and provides adequate workspaces and administering functionalities, such as ingestion mechanisms, batch modifications or alert mechanisms.
