Resumen

The visibility of scientific research has become a strategic priority for academic institutions seeking to strengthen their reputation, foster collaboration, and increase global impact. Despite an increase in indexed publications, many universities in developing countries lack centralized tools to publicly showcase their research output. This paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based interactive system developed for the Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades (UCH) in Lima, Peru. The system integrates real-time data from the Scopus API and internal metadata stored in MongoDB to dynamically display researcher profiles, citation metrics, and scientific production trends. A digital totem was deployed in a public university space to allow users to interact with the platform. The system was developed using a prototyping-based approach and built with React.js, Flask, and AWS technologies. A total of 28 researchers participated in usability testing, with 100% task completion and high satisfaction rates across all metrics. The results indicate that the platform effectively improves research visibility and user engagement. Future improvements include mobile compatibility, advanced search filters, and integration with additional academic APIs such as ORCID or Crossref.
