?Symplectic Elements/Annual Collection
Module (ACM)
?
Symplectic Elements is the system used for collating research publications of SU's researchers. The Annual Collection Module (ACM) of Elements will handle the submission of a subgroup of these publications to DHET for subsidy purposes. A coordinator for each department/division/centre/bureau/school, as designated departmental chairperson/head/director, will be responsible for coordinating this process and ensure that the relevant documentation is submitted for those publications that are submitted for subsidy to DHET.
Elements is designed around and centred on the individual researcher. The system consists of a central hub with various modules. Publication metadata for SU's researchers are harvested from publisher data sources (PubMed, Dimensions, Web of Science, Scopus, MLA, Crossref, ArXiv, etc and it's displayed in Elements.
Researcher profiles consisting of publications, teaching activities etc are displayed in the Discovery module whereas submissions of publications to DHET are done via the Annual Collections Module (ACM).
