Ambin by Manuskrito
Ambin stands for 'Automated Manuskrito Search in Binaries'.
Manuskrito and Ambin are innovative platforms designed to enhance academic research and accessibility for students and researchers in the Philippines. Our mission is to make academic manuscripts—such as theses and dissertations—more inclusive and discoverable, driving progress and innovation across the country.
Ambin is a chat interface based on the search features of the Manuskrito portal. It intuitively combines basic to advanced search capabilities in one query, automating the search process with minimal parameter manipulations. Through this process with chat-based integration, we hope to enhance and elevate the user experience by making the search process more fun and engaging.
Manuskrito is a Filipino-born initiative and a pioneering web-based learning and resource hub dedicated to making academic research in the Philippines discoverable to all. Our mission is to empower students, researchers, scholars, and professionals by providing open access search capacity to a vast collection of undergraduate theses, master's research, and doctoral dissertations. We provide value-added benefits by hosting a data analytical approach to research discovery, allowing users to explore and cross-reference academic work with relevant patents, clinical trials, trademarks, funding opportunities, and scholarships in the Philippines and abroad. This comprehensive approach, the Manuskrito way, not only enhances the visibility of academic research but also fosters innovation and collaboration by bridging gaps between academia, industry, and funding bodies.
