Implementing Symplectic Elements as an expertise search solution
The University of Oxford has been a Symplectic client since 2009. Recently, the University expanded its long-standing Symplectic Elements instance by implementing the Discovery Module, creating a new Research@Oxford expertise search portal. David Saunders, Research Information Analyst, and Martin Carrolchick, Research Information Officer, presented at the 2023 European User Day in London on the context and implementation of the new portal.
This case study, taken from the presentation, describes:
- Background & context of the Oxford Research Finder (ORF) project.
- Why Oxford transitioned from VIVO to Elements to host its public profiles.
- The road to implementation.
- New opportunities for the university through public profiles.
