Elements support
The Library's Elements team can provide support and training, to help you start adding work to the system. Please utilise our user guides, and contact us on elements@sussex.ac.uk if you need to book a one-to-one or group session.
The Library is migrating repository content on SRO from one system (EPrints) to another (Figshare) throughout June. As a consequence, deposit from Elements has been paused to ensure that certain technical requirements are met.
During this time, we ask that you continue to add/claim publication records on Elements and email a link to the saved record (including any files you’d normally deposit e.g. the accepted version) to sro@sussex.ac.uk. Our team will then ensure that the records are deposited to the new system as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please get in touch at sro@sussex.ac.uk.
Training Sessions
We are able to offer one to one or small group sessions to users who would like further training on Elements.
If you would like to request a session, please email elements@sussex.ac.uk with a selection of suitable dates and times, and we will be in touch to arrange an appointment.
