Your research outputs are managed in Symplectic and can be displayed on your Discovery staff profile using the Relationship Privacy settings. 

Relationship Privacy

• Public: Visible externally through Discovery. This setting only works if you have a public staff profile and is required for outputs to appear there. Refer to the tutorial How to create or update your Discovery staff profile via Symplectic if you wish to use this setting

• Internal: Visible only to people logged into Symplectic at Leeds Beckett

• Private: Visible only to you within Symplectic

You can change these privacy levels for each output at any time.

How Outputs Appear in Discovery:

• By default, outputs are listed in date order (newest first). Viewers can also sort outputs by oldest first, alphabetical order, or group by type

Highlighting Outputs with Favourites

If you want specific outputs to appear at the top of your research outputs list:

1. In Symplectic, click the heart icon 🖤 next to the output title to mark it as a favourite
2. Favourite outputs will appear as featured items at the top of the list by default. Viewers can choose to hide this featured view and browse outputs using other sort options

Favourites and ORCID

Favourite outputs also affect your ORCID integration. For details, refer to our ORCiD FAQ: Can Symplectic automatically update ORCID with my research outputs?
