Leverage the power of Symplectic Elements as a Research Information Management System to automatically populate public profiles that showcase your greatest assets: the expertise and experience of your researchers and faculty.
The Discovery Module is a dedicated component within Symplectic Elements which can be licensed as part of your solution.
The Discovery Module repurposes the rich and often unique data already collected within Symplectic Elements to populate fully-rounded profiles that showcase what you do best.
These enhanced profiles bring together biographical information, linked publications, grants, and professional & teaching activities, allowing researchers to showcase the full scope of their scholarly activities and expertise.
The Discovery Module can be named and styled in line with your institution’s visual identity and strategic priorities, providing a flexible, branded gateway into your research expertise: a public window into your academic community.
The Discovery Module is accessibility conformant and mobile-responsive, making your public profiles available to the widest audience, anytime, anywhere. Embedded video and media content within profiles helps bring research to life.
Researchers can easily signal on their profile what they are available for, be it project work, mentorship, supervision, or collaboration – making it simple to find the right people to drive your research forward. Profiles are designed with SEO in mind.
Our interactive Collaboration Network visualisation lets users easily view and navigate connections and relationships across institutional networks, helping users to identify potential collaborators, mentorship opportunities, or peer reviewers.
The real power of Symplectic Elements lies in its ability to continuously harvest data from the widest range of sources in the industry, giving users a view of your researchers and faculty that is in-depth, in context, and up to date. Researchers can use their public profiles not only to exhibit their publications, but also demonstrate impact and expertise through items such as:
University campuses have expensive, specialised equipment and resources such as electron microscopes, 3D printers, and testing facilities which can represent considerable financial investment and require advanced training. Partnerships with companies might include lease agreements, access, and training to leverage these types of resources in lieu of having to own this equipment themselves.
The Discovery Module lets you maximise the usage of your high-value facilities and technical experts by creating profiles for institutional equipment, technology and services. These profiles can:
Your public profile portal can act as a central hub for connecting academic expertise with industry needs – supporting technology transfer, licensing opportunities, and commercialisation.
Profile portals showcase patents, projects, and publications, enabling researchers to signal availability for collaboration, supervision, or consultancy. These profiles are SEO-optimised and fully searchable by name, keyword, tags, or title.
Display departments, labs, and special interest groups as rich, public-facing pages which bring together key information in one curated space.
Groups can be linked to people, publications, grants, and equipment – creating dynamic landing pages that reflect the real structure and impact of your organisation.
Abstracts can be displayed within researcher profiles and instantly summarized using the latest AI technologies to allow visitors to quickly gain an overview and assess a particular output’s relevance to their research.
Opt-out of AI summarization is available at both an organizational and an individual level, giving a high level of control.
