This session will showcase how we are continuing to improve accessibility, deepen the picture of researcher collaboration, streamline CV import, and make it faster and easier to manage content within item evaluation exercises.
What’s new in 7.6
Accessibility: Significant accessibility enhancements
We’re making meaningful accessibility improvements across Symplectic Elements, with particular focus on the workflows administrators and core faculty rely on most day to day.
Discovery module: See collaboration beyond your institution
A new visualisation on researcher profiles shows external collaborations at an organisation level, giving researchers a way to showcase the full breadth of their collaboration network, alongside the existing network diagram that maps internal collaboration with other Symplectic Elements users.
CV import: Fewer incomplete items, less manual cleanup
Several minor improvements and fixes to the CV import UX and workflow, including:
- Automatic publication status inference for journal articles and conference items when AI doesn’t infer it, reducing the number of items flagged “incomplete” for a missing mandatory value.
Item evaluation: Clearer, more efficient evaluation workflows
We’ve made several improvements to the Item evaluation module, making it faster to find what you need and easier to manage duplicate content during evaluation exercises.
- A new “Additional materials” filter lets you filter items by available DOI, repository link, or attachments.
- The “Item evaluation status” and “Publication title” filters are now standalone filters, for quicker access to your most-used criteria.
- Duplicate nominations resulting from merged records are now clearly highlighted, so managers can quickly decide which nomination to keep.
