  • Report outcomes as they happen

    Outputs and outcomes can be created and updated throughout the year. This will help you record outcomes accurately as they happen and make it easier for you to complete your submission within the deadline, particularly if you can include a persistent unique identifier.

  • Submit early within the submission period

    You can complete your submission at any time during the submission period. By completing earlier on in the period you will avoid reminders from UKRI and from us!

  • Create and use persistent unique identifiers

    To enable researchfish to regularly harvest output information, ready for you to attribute to the relevant award:

    • Cite your funder and grant reference in the acknowledgement section and include in the output record’s metadata if possible.
    • Obtain a persistent unique identifier (such as a DOI) and include it within the record.

    Doing this should allow researchfish to import this information directly into your researchfish account, saving you time in future submission periods.

  • Link your ORCID and Researchfish accounts

    Create a link between your ORCID and researchfish accounts and make researchfish a trusted source. This means publication records pushed to your ORCID account by a publisher can be harvested from there by researchfish and transferred into your researchfish account, ready for you to attribute to the relevant award. It will also allow you to push your researchfish publications to your ORCID account.

  • Allow others to assist in reporting

    As PI you can also add delegates who can help you prepare your submission by creating, editing and attributing the award outcomes.

  • Share and reuse outcomes

    Although only the award holder can submit an award, award holders can add team members who have their own outcomes which can be attributed to multiple awards. For example, you can add co-investigators, partners, student supervisors and anyone else involved in the project who has their own research outcomes portfolio.
