Teams can track compliance requirements and timelines, then link research outputs and outcomes to projects and showcase impact on a Pure portal. Elsevier lists integrations with Funding Institutional, Infonetica and Agresso, as well as institutional HR, finance and grant systems and external sources such as Scopus, Web of Science and ORCID.
