Streamline your publication deposit and open access workflows, provide unparalleled access to your organization’s research outputs and data, and gain a comprehensive view of all of your research and scholarly activity.
Figshare enables institutions to share, showcase and manage their research outputs in a discoverable, citable, reportable and transparent way.
Symplectic Elements is a comprehensive and powerful research management solution which empowers organizations to collect, analyze, showcase & report on all of their scholarly activities.
Key features
Credit where credit’s due
Increase the discoverability of publications, researchers, and institutional outputs and impacts. With Figshare’s support for over 1200 file formats, including non-traditional outputs such as videos, graphs, and presentations, data can be visualized to bring research to life.
Drive open access engagement
Symplectic Elements identifies suitable research outputs which are not yet openly available, and lets researchers easily deposit them in Figshare directly from Symplectic Elements with the push of a button.
Intelligent data harvesting
Intelligent data harvesting means Symplectic Elements is always working for you in the background, continuously identifying and matching research outputs from Figshare and other data sources to automatically populate and update records.
Work wherever works best
Powerful bidirectional integration means that researchers can deposit via either Symplectic Elements or directly to Figshare – creating a consistent, comprehensive and current picture of all of a researcher’s publications.
“Because it’s user friendly and because it integrates well with other systems, it makes it easier for our researchers to publish and access research results.”
Streamline workflows and relieve administrative burden
Institutions can define open access strategy and workflows within the system to automate which publications are targeted for deposit, record exceptions, and create reports on compliance at a researcher, department or group level.
Deposit guidance and funder compliance
Symplectic Elements will automatically prompt researchers to deposit target publications to Figshare and guide them quickly and easily through the process, simplifying workflows for academics and administrators, increasing deposit rates, and removing the need for duplicate data entry.
Set targets and monitor progress
Filter publications by parameters to review how your institution is progressing toward compliance, record exceptions, track library status and measure engagement levels for individuals or departments.
