In Symplectic, you can add name-based search terms to help the system find all your publications and grants across different data sources. This is useful if you have changed your name partially or completely for any reason, including marriage, divorce, gender affirmation or personal preference. By adding these variations, Symplectic can retrieve items published under both your previous and current names.
To update your name-based search terms:
- Access your Symplectic account.
- Click the menu in the top left corner and go to My Profile’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Name-based Search.
- Enter your name-based search terms in the format Lastname, Firstname or initials, adding all variations you have published under.
- Keep the default Leeds Beckett University addresses to refine results by your name and institution.
