Before you begin editing your profile, please review the table to learn about the categories of content.
PURE provides a place to store all of your publication activity in the one place. The most important thing you can do to ensure any new publications are included on your profile is to set up the automated search function – this will scan publishers databases on a weekly basis for any of your publications and present them to you as an ‘Import candidate.’ Databases included in an automated search:
An Automated Search needs to be enabled for each database. You can select to be informed by email when possible publications are found as well as setting up one or more variants of author names in the sources you are searching. Keep in mind that if your name is common, you may get a lot of import candidates.
Yes, it is possible to allow someone to update content on your Pure profile. This feature is called assigning a "Trusted User." This user will be be authorized to enter and maintain your research data on your behalf.
When entering a publication record into PURE, you may notice you have the choice of saving it under 'For Validation' or 'Entry in Progress'. 'For Validation' is the default status and means that the article will be available for the System Administrator to review and change to a 'Validated' status. Once validated, an output is immediately available in Pure, but it can still be edited by the author if changes are needed. It will then be marked for 'Revalidation' and go back through the approval process.
Note: If you wish to keep something out of the editor's view and signal that it is not ready to be validated or appear publicly, the status should be set to 'Entry in Progress'.
If none of the above methods is successful in uploading some of your outputs to PURE then you will need to add them manually. Most of the outputs you produce will likely fall under one of the two PURE menus: “Research outputs” or “Activities,” but there are many publication options available in the sub-menus.
Information regarding activities, impacts, and public engagements need to be added manually.
Note: When adding details of an annual event, it is best to include the year in the title to differentiate between events (e.g. AAMC 2016).
