Publication Icon on the website

Dear All, I am wondering if its possible to have a publication portal next to library icon on MCAA website (top right side). We can have a search engine like Pubmed on our website, where fellows can upload their published papers in pdf form and other fellows can access them.

It will provide us multiple advantages:

1. It will give an open access to the published articles at our site. It happened with me sometimes that I even can't access free my own publication through PubMed, once it is published by the journal, through my university computers.

2. It can give us an indirect parameter to measure the quality of our fellows.

3. It will help us to find fellows of similar scientific interests on our website.

I would like to say here that it is a kind of bank where fellows upload their pdf publications and in any case, it ll not be a copy right infringement of any journal.

Let me know if you like the idea and if it is possible.

Thanks

Shikhar
