Symplectic Events and Webinars

As Open Access policies continue to shift and expand, research institutions face mounting challenges in staying compliant with funder mandates, internal policies, and global OA expectations.

The Open Access Monitor in Symplectic Elements is developed to ensure institutions can meet and track compliance with these evolving OA requirements efficiently and effectively.

Join us for an in-person user meeting designed for the Symplectic Elements community, taking place as a satellite event alongside the EFS International Forum in Cleveland, Ohio.

We’re delighted to announce that we will be holding an in-person 2-day event for our UK and European User Community in London, UK. We are aiming to release a preliminary schedule in the next couple of months, but you can expect product development-focused presentations from both Figshare and Symplectic and client showcase sessions. Day 1 will focus on Symplectic Elements, while Day 2 will focus on Figshare

Using a research information management system (RIMS) like Symplectic Elements allows your institution to collect, curate, and share research outputs, subject area experts, and facilities with the wider discovery audience.

Join us for this Symplectic Elements 6.22 product release webinar, where we will give you an update on some of the new functionality being launched.

We’re thrilled to invite you to a special webinar, held in partnership with Times Higher Education, exploring how institutions can maximize research visibility and foster impactful academic-industry collaborations.

In this “Functionality Focus” webinar, we will delve a little deeper into some of the new OA compliance enhancements in Elements 6.21 and give you a chance to ask specific questions around this new and exciting functionality.

Join us for our upcoming webinar for current Symplectic Elements clients to learn about the migration process and the key benefits of moving to a hosted instance. We’ll introduce the benefits of migrating to a hosted environment, and talk through what the process would look like. 

Join us for a walkthrough of new functionality as part of the Symplectic Elements 6.20 release.

By showcasing departments and other kinds of groups in public profiles alongside researchers and facilities, we can help visitors learn more about the organisation, and provide them with additional pathways to find potential collaborators.

With speakers from Figshare, Symplectic and Loughborough University, we cover how specially created workflows and infrastructures can support REF submissions, and the benefits of having them in place.

In today’s fast-paced academic landscape, managing research data efficiently is paramount. A Research Information Management System (RIMS) serves as a comprehensive solution, streamlining the process of collecting, organizing, and disseminating research information across your institution. Join this webinar to learn more about what a RIMS can do for you.

Together, Elements and Figshare provide a complete solution for collecting, storing, showcasing and reporting on all research outputs and scholarly activities, with a focus on open access compliance and engagement.

In this 45 minute webinar, Andrew McKenna-Foster (Figshare) and Sue Brown (Symplectic) introduce how to combine the power of Figshare as a cloud-based institutional repository, with Elements as a scholarly information management solution.

The Elements Impact Module helps researchers to capture emerging indicators of research impact resulting from their work, track how it connects to their work and to develop narratives around it to underpin case studies.

Sam Gibbons-Frendo, Senior Product Manager, overviews the Reporting Hub in Symplectic Elements and teaches you how to get the most out of reporting in elements.

This central hub for reporting functionality makes it easier to modify existing reports and create new reports.
