Optimising Elements to find your publications
If you find that Elements is rarely auto-claiming your published outputs, or you are consistently rejecting a large number of publications in your Pending list, you can refer to the instructions below to optimise how Elements handles your name-based search and author identifiers.
Tip
Visit Elements regularly to maintain and refine these settings. Doing so will ensure Elements is doing everything it can to make managing your published outputs as quick and easy as possible.
Author identifiers in Elements
Managing your author identifiers is the best way to improve Elements’ success at finding your outputs and speeding up administrative processing. If Elements finds a publication that includes any of your confirmed identifiers it will automatically claim the publications to your profile. This will save you the trouble of manually claiming the publication.

Name-based search in Elements
Name-based searching is one of several methods used by Elements to identify your publications. Using your name and other identifying information (e.g. institutional affiliations), it performs text-based searches of bibliographic data-sources.
Take some time to update your Elements name-based search settings. This is particularly important for new staff.
