Researchers often grapple with the time-consuming process of recording their work. With Liverpool Elements, we aim to ease this burden, and with its interconnection with other systems such as ORCID and Scopus, this is even more the case. By requiring minimal input, the system automatically supplements your entries by retrieving information from online bibliographic databases.

  • Document storage: Liverpool Elements should not be used to store files you're working on for an "in preparation" work.
  • Uploading books/book chapters for annual output assessments: Instead, please send the file directly to your local contact.
  • Sharing outside of Liverpool: Liverpool Elements is a closed system, so be aware that no one outside of the University of Liverpool can see your Elements profile. This is what ORCID is for.
