Elements and your Annual Report
The Annual Report is a strictly confidential document. Please review the Elements Annual Report Guide for Faculty, for instructions on completing your Annual Report.
As this is our first year using Elements, there will be a learning curve for faculty in getting used to the new system and curating your profile with the automated publication harvesting and the migrated data from Lyterati. Please direct all questions you have during the process to [email protected], and we will respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible.
Confidentiality
The University is committed to maintaining the levels of confidentiality that are expected within a prized academic community. Access to confidential personnel and financial information is limited to authorized entities at GW. To prevent your academic history data from being searched by other faculty, you will need to change the privacy setting for records you do not wish to be viewed to "Private." If you make this choice, it means that other faculty members looking for collaborators across common research interests will not be able to find you, and it is expected that you will not search for others.
Note
Do not include personally sensitive data such as date of birth, SSN, credit card information in your Faculty Profile.
