Elements

The Research and Open Scholarship team have created custom publication reports for each school at Sussex. These reports display publications for each school with extractable citations, and concise helpful information for each publication. These reports are filterable by department and date so can be specific in their use. We have designed these reports after listening to reporting needs from staff across the university so they are tailored in their functions.

If you would like to have access to your specific school report please email us at elements.sussex.ac.uk. You will need to hold a position at the university that requires these reports for you to be given access.

The Basic Reporting function in Elements allows for publication reporting. The Basic Report for publications pulls in all information associated with a publication so the report itself can contain large amounts of information. These reports can be run for individual users, schools or departments. You can also specify a type of publication you want to report on. The Basic Reporting function for publications can often require some filtering and navigating in order to display what is needed.

To access Basic Reporting, log in to Elements and click Menu > Reporting > Basic Reports. Select a user, a school or department you wish to report on. At the bottom of the page you will be able to select a publication type if you wish. In the 'Return' section you can select whether you want the report ordered by the publication ID, the linked user or the data source. The most helpful of which is either the user or the publication ID depending on your needs.
