Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, is pleased to announce that Indiana University has selected Symplectic Elements as its new faculty activity management and reporting system.

This strategic decision marks a significant advancement toward the university’s goals of streamlining the management and reporting of the work and accomplishments of its faculty.

Indiana University is internationally known for outstanding research and its world-class degree programs, from business and health to STEM and the arts at its flagship campus in Bloomington, the expanding campus in Indianapolis and across the state through its seven regional campuses. It also operates the largest medical school in the United States.

Given the expansive variation of scholarship and teaching, a faculty-driven initiative determined the need for a new system to better address the needs of the diverse schools and colleges within the university organization. Symplectic Elements was selected as it is designed to meet the diverse needs of academic institutions.

“From selection to implementation, the transition to this tool has been a model of shared governance at work at Indiana University,” said Willie Miller, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at IU Indianapolis, who serves on the implementation committee.

He went on to state, “Symplectic Elements has features that align with faculty values and the university’s priorities. It has the potential to improve the usability and equity in our systems of faculty review, connect IU faculty closer to each other for collaboration, and increase the visibility of faculty work externally, thereby strengthening the university’s reputation as a powerhouse of research and discovery.”

Symplectic Elements’ intuitive interface and powerful data integration capabilities will facilitate a smooth transition ensuring historical data is accurately migrated and preserved. The university will also utilize Symplectic Elements to underpin a new public profiles portal, opening discoverability across researchers and research outputs throughout all campuses.

Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, is pleased to share the news that Midwestern University has successfully launched a new faculty profiles portal powered by Symplectic Elements.

Midwestern has been utilizing Symplectic Elements as its Research Information Management System since 2019, and has made the decision to expand its use by adding public profiles. The faculty profiles repurpose the comprehensive data already within Elements to populate enhanced profiles, including biographical information as well as their publications, grants and professional and teaching activities.

Midwestern’s faculty profiles currently include more than 2,700 faculty members, which can be filtered by campus, academic degree program, availability and department. The profiles enhance the discoverability of Midwestern’s research and impact, giving faculty a simple and visible way to share and showcase their work, build new research collaborations, and connect with new students, industry professionals, or the media.
