Improvements to the recently revamped contracts page to allow you to upload versions of the contract prior to it being issued.
Additional filter options for more precisely searching against classifications data.

The University measures the individual research activity of academic staff. This Measure of Research Activity (MoRA) requires the collection of publication data from faculty. Symplectic Elements supports this beautifully.

[Elements] will help to bring transparency to the richness of thought showcased within non-traditional publications, providing a more holistic representation of faculties’ scholarly work.
