Symplectic Elements

Symplectic Elements  is a highly-configurable research management system which ingests data from multiple sources to build a truly comprehensive picture of your organisational data. You can structure and connect scholarly information throughout the research lifecycle, reducing administrative burden, deriving powerful new insights, and showcasing the real-world impact of your research.

Symplectic Elements is the core system used at UTS to manage research outputs and profiles. UTS Researchers, Academics and Professional staff are encouraged to use Symplectic to record their engagement activities, research impact, professional activities and teaching activities. Symplectic Elements is the source for your UTS public profile, so making sure it's well curated and accurate is key. 

This system is also used to undertake the annual Research Outputs Collection (ROC), upload content to the UTS library's repository, OPUS, display outputs on the UTS website and to populate the research outputs data for My Researcher Dashboard.
