UOW Scholars (Symplectic Elements / Discovery tenancy) is one of 8 APIs that [University of Wollongong](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-wollongong/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Profiles, Symplectic Elements, ORCID, CRIS, and Research Information. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

UOW Scholars is the university's public researcher-profile portal, running on Symplectic Elements with the Symplectic Discovery front end. scholars.uow.edu.au CNAMEs through uow.discovery.symplectic.org to lb.apse.discovery.symplectic.org, confirming the tenancy. The portal is a Node/Express application that exposes an /api mount — /api/config answers HTTP 403 {"error": "Forbidden", "message": "Access denied"} and unknown routes answer the Express 404 "Cannot GET /..." — so there is a real HTTP API behind it, but it is not public, not documented and not UOW's contract. Elements is UOW's research-output reporting and collection system and pushes claimed outputs to ORCID.
