Tips for Pure users
Tip: When navigating between pages in Pure, use the function buttons as provided within Pure not the general forward and backward functions on the internet server.
Tip: When you make any changes in Pure, remember to click Save at the bottom of the page. When seeking to enter new information into Pure, in many cases, a new window opens displaying meta data or your Pure record. Changes can be made within this window and you will often be required to click on the ‘Update’ or ‘Create’ buttons. These functions allow you to input information into your Pure record but do not save the information. Remember to click ‘Save’ after you make any changes and before you exit the window.
Tip: Information which is sourced from the core systems (HR, QFIS and QSIS) will only be available in read only format and cannot be edited. Any changes that are required to this information must be made in the core systems as they are the definitive sources of information.
Tip: As Web of Science or Scopus will pull all citation information (if available) into Pure, this is the recommended option for adding new publications.
Tip: When adding new publications, if possible, do so by importing from a file, an on-line source or through the automatic scan of publications as these methods draw on databases such as the Web of Science or Scopus and will pull all citation information (if available) into Pure.
Tip: Once new content has been added into Pure, the user will receive an email in their Pure ‘My messages’ inbox to state that the new research output, activity or impact has been created in their name (in team based research, this will avoid other individuals having to input the same information).
