Why should I use Pure?
Pure provides a single location for you to store information about your research, such as your publications, collaborations, research projects and grants and the associations between them. Pure is designed to make it as easy as possible to keep information about your own research up-to-date, providing ongoing visibility of research activities at the University. Having been entered into Pure once, data can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- maintaining personal, cluster and school research profiles on the Researc Portal website.
- creating an experts' database that can be interrogated for information to support both internal and external collaboration.
- depositing electronic copies of research outputs in the University’s digital repository and creating a comprehensive but straightforward means of enabling open access to publications.
- preparing bibliographies and CVs for grant proposals or internal career progression.
- preparing and making data submissions in support of HEFCE's REF requirements, and the requirements of other statutory research audits.
