Design of A Website-Based Thesis Management System using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Method

This research on a web-based thesis management system aims to simplify the process of collecting and documenting students’ theses, allowing them to be used as references for those currently working on their final projects. The system is developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, as this approach enables the rapid and flexible creation of prototypes that adapt to user needs. The system design includes several features such as abstract submission, thesis document uploads, and DOI publication links. In addition, it provides document preview and download functionality. The outcome of this design is a user-friendly interface that assists students in accessing and retrieving documented digital theses as references. It is expected that this system will serve as an initial step toward the digital transformation of thesis data management and can be further enhanced in the future according to emerging needs.
