Symplectic Elements Support
Symplectic Elements (Elements) is a University system for collecting and managing staff research outputs produced at Griffith University.
It is a data source for:
- reports at Centre/Institute, School and Group levels
- reporting to government about Griffith's research performance
- Griffith Research Online (GRO), which provides access to free online full-text versions of research outputs (where this is possible with the appropriate permissions from publishers).
- Creative Works (CW), which provides access to media-rich presentations of creative research outputs (where this is possible with the appropriate permissions of the copyright owners).
- Griffith Experts, the public profile system for Griffith University researchers.
Benefits for researchers
- All aspects of your academic profile in one place.
- Manage and keep track of your research outputs for use in grant or promotion applications and your Academic Dashboard (VPN required).
- Allow Elements to automatically send publications to ORCID, keeping it up to date.
- Discoverability of your research outputs by search engines such as Google, Google Scholar and Trove.
- Readily collect and document impact related activities and link them to outputs, grants and Griffith colleagues.
Get started
New to Griffith? Setup automatic claiming
Set up Elements to automatically claim research outputs.
Settings are based on name, email addresses and/or matches in researcher identifier systems (for example, ORCID, ScopusID).
Steps to set up auto-claiming only need to be performed once.
- Login to Elements
- Select Menu > My Profile > Settings > Automatic Claiming
Now Add identifiers.
A range of researcher identifiers (for example, ORCID, Web of Science ResearcherID) are used to facilitate the claiming of research output data.
Under Automatic claiming, approve or reject identifiers under the Do these identify you? section.
Elements will automatically claim research outputs using that identifier and continue to do so in the future.
If the system does not find all your identifiers, you can enter them by clicking on the + under Add external profiles.
Email addresses can also be used to autoclaim research outputs.
Your Griffith email address is automatically added to the autoclaiming system. Additional addresses can be entered (e.g. other institution’s email address).
Click the hypertext link under Add email addresses to enter another email address.
Name-based search settings are preloaded with your name (usually in the form of LASTNAME, INITIAL and LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME).
Improve these settings by adding name variants or address terms.
This is recommended if you:
- Have a lot of research outputs pending that are not yours.
- Published under a previous name.
- Have a common name.
- Select Menu > My Profile > Settings Name-based Search
- For addresses, simply use the official name of the institution
- Click "Save" when finished
Claim/reject research outputs
Sometimes you will be prompted to claim or reject research outputs.
These will be placed in the Pending list for your approval.
An action in your My Actions list will also take you to pending outputs:
Claim or reject research outputs using the tick or cross buttons:
- Claimed outputs will move to the Claimed list
- Rejected to the Rejected list.
If there are outputs that do not belong to you, and it is not clear to you why, contact Elements Support and the support team will help with:
- clearing the Pending list
- modifying search settings to improve accuracy of the searches
- re-running your search.
Manage your settings
Symplectic Elements accounts are automatically created for staff employed by the University.

- Select Menu > My Profile > Settings > Automatic Claiming
Now Add identifiers.
A range of researcher identifiers (for example, ORCID, Web of Science ResearcherID) are used to facilitate the claiming of research output data.
Under Automatic claiming, approve or reject identifiers under the Do these identify you? section.
Elements will automatically claim research outputs using that identifier and continue to do so in the future.
If the system does not find all your identifiers, you can enter them by clicking on the + under Add external profiles.
Email addresses can also be used to autoclaim research outputs.
Your Griffith email address is automatically added to the autoclaiming system. Additional addresses can be entered (e.g. other institution’s email address).
Click the hypertext link under Add email addresses to enter another email address.
Name-based search settings are preloaded with your name (usually in the form of LASTNAME, INITIAL and LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME).
Improve these settings by adding name variants or address terms.
This is recommended if you:
- Have a lot of research outputs pending that are not yours.
- Published under a previous name.
- Have a common name.
- Select Menu > My Profile > Settings Name-based Search
- For addresses, simply use the official name of the institution
- Click "Save" when finished
Claim/reject research outputs
Sometimes you will be prompted to claim or reject research outputs.
These will be placed in the Pending list for your approval.
An action in your My Actions list will also take you to pending outputs:
Claim or reject research outputs using the tick or cross buttons:
- Claimed outputs will move to the Claimed list
- Rejected to the Rejected list.
If there are outputs that do not belong to you, and it is not clear to you why, contact Elements Support and the support team will help with:
- clearing the Pending list
- modifying search settings to improve accuracy of the searches
- re-running your search.
Manage your settings
Symplectic Elements accounts are automatically created for staff employed by the University.

- Griffith Experts, the public profile system for Griffith University researchers.
Benefits for researchers
- All aspects of your academic profile in one place.
- Manage and keep track of your research outputs for use in grant or promotion applications and your Academic Dashboard (VPN required).
- Allow Elements to automatically send publications to ORCID, keeping it up to date.
- Discoverability of your research outputs by search engines such as Google, Google Scholar and Trove.
- Readily collect and document impact related activities and link them to outputs, grants and Griffith colleagues.
