C.A.S.E. (Class Assignment Series: Edition) — Institutional Repository and Academic Publishing Strategy
Abstract
The transition of undergraduate academic outputs from temporary course requirements to permanent, globally discoverable assets presents a valuable opportunity for structural optimization in higher education. This strategic white paper introduces CFSBR C.A.S.E. (Class Assignment Series: Edition), an innovative institutional repository and publishing model developed by the Centre for Fintech & Strategic Business Research (CFSBR). By leveraging high-performance, open-access infrastructure via PubPub (MIT/Knowledge Futures Group) and structured metadata curation through Crossref, the C.A.S.E. framework systemically archives exceptional undergraduate assignments under persistent Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). This ecosystem constructively augments traditional academic evaluation, safeguards undergraduate intellectual property, minimizes potential plagiarism, expands the publisher's digital footprint, and institutionalizes early-stage research frameworks.
Keywords: Academic Publishing Strategy, Undergraduate Research, Digital Object Identifier (DOI), Institutional Repository, Open Access, Metadata Harvesting, Fintech Strategy.
