Scheduled Webinars

Be among the first to see the new Item Evaluation module in action, launching with Symplectic Elements 7.1. Our latest module introduces a dedicated, item-centric peer review workflow designed to help institutions evaluate individual research outputs – such as publications, impact case studies, and professional activities – with greater flexibility, transparency, and efficiency.

In this session, hosted by Digital Science, we’ll explore practical strategies and next-generation tools to bridge these gaps, enhance research discoverability, and strengthen industry-university collaboration.

As Open Access policies continue to shift and expand, research institutions face mounting challenges in staying compliant with funder mandates, internal policies, and global OA expectations.

The Open Access Monitor in Symplectic Elements is developed to ensure institutions can meet and track compliance with these evolving OA requirements efficiently and effectively.

Using a research information management system (RIMS) like Symplectic Elements allows your institution to collect, curate, and share research outputs, subject area experts, and facilities with the wider discovery audience.

Join us for this Symplectic Elements 6.22 product release webinar, where we will give you an update on some of the new functionality being launched.

We’re thrilled to invite you to a special webinar, held in partnership with Times Higher Education, exploring how institutions can maximize research visibility and foster impactful academic-industry collaborations.

In this “Functionality Focus” webinar, we will delve a little deeper into some of the new OA compliance enhancements in Elements 6.21 and give you a chance to ask specific questions around this new and exciting functionality.

Join us for our upcoming webinar for current Symplectic Elements clients to learn about the migration process and the key benefits of moving to a hosted instance. We’ll introduce the benefits of migrating to a hosted environment, and talk through what the process would look like. 

Join us for a walkthrough of new functionality as part of the Symplectic Elements 6.20 release.

By showcasing departments and other kinds of groups in public profiles alongside researchers and facilities, we can help visitors learn more about the organisation, and provide them with additional pathways to find potential collaborators.

With speakers from Figshare, Symplectic and Loughborough University, we cover how specially created workflows and infrastructures can support REF submissions, and the benefits of having them in place.

In today’s fast-paced academic landscape, managing research data efficiently is paramount. A Research Information Management System (RIMS) serves as a comprehensive solution, streamlining the process of collecting, organizing, and disseminating research information across your institution. Join this webinar to learn more about what a RIMS can do for you.

In this webinar, we cover how using Symplectic Elements as a research information management system, integrated with Figshare for Institutions as a research repository, drives a holistic approach to research management. Together, Elements and Figshare provide a complete solution for collecting, storing, showcasing and reporting on all research outputs and scholarly activities, with a focus on open access compliance and engagement.

In this 45 minute webinar, Andrew McKenna-Foster (Figshare) and Sue Brown (Symplectic) introduce how to combine the power of Figshare as a cloud-based institutional repository, with Elements as a scholarly information management solution.

The Elements Impact Module helps researchers to capture emerging indicators of research impact resulting from their work, track how it connects to their work and to develop narratives around it to underpin case studies.

Sam Gibbons-Frendo, Senior Product Manager, overviews the Reporting Hub in Symplectic Elements and teaches you how to get the most out of reporting in elements.

This central hub for reporting functionality makes it easier to modify existing reports and create new reports.

In this hour-long webinar, the Symplectic product team overviews enhancements to the Assessment Module and the new use cases and workflows it can support where you need to gather submissions from your users – such as publication review & approvals, requests to attend conferences, internal peer reviews, and promotion rounds.

In this on-demand session we hear from Clarke Iakovakis, Scholarly Services Librarian at OSU, to learn more about OSU’s use of Elements, focussing particularly on their use of the API and reporting database. This webinar is recommended for more technical users of Symplectic Elements.

In this 30 minute webinar, Claire Turner (VP Commercial, Digital Science) discusses how to evolve your infrastructure to keep in step with changing funder mandates by integrating Figshare as an institutional repository alongside Symplectic Elements as a research information management system.

Join the University of Arts London’s Mark Hibbett and Anab Hussen to hear about a pilot project at UAL using Symplectic Elements to power peer observations across their teaching body.

Sam Gibbons-Frendo will give an overview of changes to the functionality in utilising Groups to manage and showcase internal organisation structures.
