In the context of a research and development department of an enterprise, researchers regularly access, review, and use large amounts of literature, yet none of the exiting tools and solutions provide the wide range of functionalities required to properly manage these resources. Indeed, bibliography management systems manage the references and citations but fail to help researchers handle and locate resources. On the other hand, research paper recommendation systems and specialized search engines help researchers locate new resources, but again fail to help researchers manage the resources. Finally, Enterprise Content Management systems offer the required functionalities to manage resources and knowledge, but are not designed for research literature. In this work we propose a new class of management systems: Research Paper Management Systems. Moreover, to illustrate our approach we highlight our system Papyres which combines various tools and functionalities, including Web2.0 technique, enabling researchers to maintain and manipulate bibliographies, as well as to manage and share resources and knowledge. Finally, we report on the implementation and validation of Papyres.
