Elements and your research profile
Your researcher profile enhances the visibility of your research by bringing your research activities and publications together in one place.
Elements is the University of Sussex's system for capturing and reporting on a wide range of research-related outcomes and activities, enabling you to maintain an up-to-date profile as a researcher. The workshop will demonstrate how to build your Elements profile to showcase your research, professional and teaching activities; it will also incorporate ORCiD, Google Scholar and other researcher profile tools.
