Discovery Profiles
Discovery Profiles is a database of UTS research experts, potential supervisors, and collaborators. It allows internal and external audiences to search by name, keywords or disciplines, populated from Symplectic Elements. Discovery Profiles makes it quick and easy to have an up-to-date public profile showcasing the breadth of researcher expertise at UTS.

Using Discovery Profiles
Find a specific expert.
- To find experts , you can either start by putting in a keyword, and refine your search. If you know the FoR code you are looking for, switch the 'As a Tag' toggle on the search bar and start typing the field of research code name.
Update your profile.
- Your Discovery profile is the public UTS profile designed to help an external audience find and learn about you. UTS staff and HDR students can create and update these profiles using Symplectic Elements (Symplectic), which will automatically include research outputs, professional activities and research projects that you have added to the system.
- You can set Symplectic to automatically claim your publications by adding your Scopus Author ID, Web of Science Researcher ID and other author identifiers, see instructions from Symplectic User Guide. It's important to maintain your Scopus and Web of Science profiles regularly to ensure the accuracy of automatic claiming.
