Not sure what Symplectic Elements is, or how to integrate your ORCID? Find out more information about Symplectic Elements from the Research Information Sharepoint site.

Check out this guide on ResearchGate and Academia.edu from the University of Oklahoma for some useful tips on maximising the usefulness of these sites (while also being aware of their issues!).
