Symplectic Elements new version release

Elements, City’s publications database will be updated on 6th July 2021.

While its look has changed, the core functionalities stay the same: you can still upload your publication, claim the articles and chapters you have written, write a short biography about your academic achievements and so on.

While the majority of functions stay the same, Symplectic has made some changes to improve the system.

You can now customise your homepage, so it reflects your academic background. You can choose the ones that are relevant to your work and academic skills, and hide the ones you don’t need.
