Linking Publications to Grants in Research Symplectic
In preparation for the forthcoming funders’ collection period between 6 February and 16 March 2017, the University of Cambridge is taking part in a pilot project to help its researchers (including students) by providing an automatic upload facility from Symplectic Elements to Researchfish.
Researchers who hold awards from RCUK, BHF, CRUK, NC3Rs and NIHR are encouraged to link their publications to their grants within Symplectic Elements by Monday 16 January 2017.
