University of Sharjah research faculty have been using SPIN for the last four years and have made the best possible use of its outstanding features and unmatched search modules. Its continuous updates have been a great advantage for researchers targeting external funding opportunities to which they are eligible. We are using SPIN and we do not plan to use any other database in the future.
