We’re excited to start the year with an inviting set of new features and enhancements, including:
- The introduction of a new External Organisations category, improving the capture and management of organisation metadata for affiliations and funding.
- Discovery module enhancements, including the ability to generate AI-driven publication summaries in public profiles.
- Continuing expansions to the functionality available in the OA Monitor, with new compliance and reporting features to support Open Access management.
For those using the Discovery Module, we’ve made exciting improvements to public profiles to improve visibility of research, including the display of abstracts and the ability to auto-generate AI-powered publication summarisations. This optional tool provides clear, digestible summaries and key highlights.
In a major change to our data structure, we’ve introduced a new External Organisations data category to improve how Elements captures and disambiguates external affiliations and funder metadata. The system will now maintain an authoritative list of external organisations, pre-populated with GRID data and, where applicable, kept up to date via Dimensions synchronisation.
As part of our ongoing enhancements to the Open Access Monitor, we’re introducing expanded compliance criteria, new scope filtering options, and enhanced reporting capabilities which will help you monitor and manage Open Access policies with greater flexibility and control.
This release also includes enhanced data integrations, improved UI features, and a range of smaller refinements to improve usability across Elements.
As always, the new version of Elements and associated upgrade instructions can be found in the Elements upgrade forum.
Please join us for next week’s release webinar on March 6th, 2025 at 4pm GMT / 11am ET which will give you a visual walkthrough of all new features and functionality.
