About this research portal:
This interactive research portal (also referred to as a platform or web application) tracks the complete development progression of Paper A, a research study analyzing real-world energy consumption and electric driving share (EDS) of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) across Europe. The portal provides a comprehensive timeline of all development milestones, methodology changes, and analysis iterations from the initial baseline model through to the final ensemble model with 26 clean variables.
Users can explore the evolution of the research through an interactive timeline, monitor script execution status in real-time, access all paper drafts and documentation files, and view detailed dashboards of analysis scripts, results, and figures. The portal serves as both a development log and a navigation hub, connecting researchers to all project resources including R analysis scripts, generated figures and tables, methodology documentation, and paper drafts stored both locally and in Google Drive.
The portal features a figures portfolio (gallery) showcasing 34+ visualizations including energy distributions, EDS analysis, model comparisons, and regional comparisons, as well as a tables portfolio with 16 comprehensive data tables covering dataset overview, model performance, regional summaries, and statistical analyses. These portfolios provide easy access to all research outputs and visualizations.
The platform features filtering capabilities to view milestones, corrections, or specific analysis types, and provides real-time monitoring of analysis script execution with status indicators and log previews. It also includes interactive file previews for DOCX documents with fullscreen viewing options, making it easy to review paper drafts and documentation directly in the browser.
Technical details:
This portal is built as a static website using HTML (structure), CSS (styling and responsive design), and JavaScript (interactivity, timeline rendering, file previews, and real-time updates). It uses modern web technologies including the Mammoth.js library for DOCX file previews and is deployed via GitHub Pages. The portal is designed to be fast, responsive, and accessible without requiring any backend server or database.
