Elements training For Sheffield Hallam researchers

In the new academic year, 2018/19, you will no longer need to use SHURA to deposit your work. Instead you will use Elements. Elements is the new way to deposit your publications. Elements will pass them on to other systems, including SHURA, your staff profile on the external website, and Academ (if you are in the Business School).

Whenever you have a new piece of work accepted for publication you will only need to deposit your manuscript once into just one system. You will only need to give a very minimal amount of information when you do so. Elements will therefore save you time compared to current arrangements.

Elements is very easy to use and it will also automatically find your work in databases such as Scopus and the Web of Science and ask you via email to “claim” it as yours.

Finally, the new system will send a perfectly ordered and formatted list of your publications to your staff profile on the external website. It will even allow you to choose which publications should be displayed!

Sign up for a session to help you set up your account in Elements. This session will show you how to tweak automated searches in external databases (such as Scopus and the Web of Science) so that Elements automatically finds your work. You will also learn how to ensure your publications lists are correct and complete, ready for display on your staff profile on the external web pages. Please visit our website for further information.
