Elements allows users to easily deposit publications into open repositories with the push of a button, significantly increasing deposit rates. You can monitor, track, prompt, and report on this process; driving open access engagement and compliance in-line with your institutional policies.
Intelligent data harvesting and easy deposit
Intelligent data harvesting means Elements is always working for you in the background, continuously identifying and matching research outputs to populate your publication record in Elements. As the metadata of scholarly works is already in Elements, deposit becomes as simple as a few mouse clicks.
Guide and prompt researchers with minimal effort
Clear call-outs in the homepage guide your researchers to deposit their publications to selected institutional repositories directly with only a few clicks of the mouse. Deposit advice from Sherpa/RoMEO is embedded as standard, providing clarity over copyright. In addition, administrators can provide their own guidance at the organisational level or for particular publishers or journals.

Open Access monitoring with Elements
Measuring engagement with Open Access policies can be time-consuming and difficult. Administrators spend valuable time chasing researchers to deposit their articles, jumping between many different systems to track engagement with their policy. Our in-built Open Access Monitor streamlines these activities, creating a centralised hub for monitoring open access engagement and compliance.
A centralised space to monitor compliance and engagement
Elements provides a unique view of what research outputs could or should be made openly available. When combined with information on what has already been deposited, institutions can gain powerful new insight into engagement levels. Administrators can filter publications by parameters to review how you are progressing toward compliance, record exceptions, track library status, and even make deposits on behalf of researchers.
Have more than one repository?
No problem! Elements can be integrated with multiple repositories simultaneously allowing institutions to consolidate deposit and monitoring activities within a single interface.
