Why should I use Pure?

PURE is the university's system for capturing and reporting on research related activity and maintaining researcher profiles. It provides an integrated environment for all research activity within the university, including information about research outputs, funding and research projects, press releases and media coverage, public engagement, conference attendance, research impact, business and community activities, awards and CVs. This will help ensure that all researchers have the public visibility they need to attract collaborations or secure certain funding; it is therefore in every researcher’s interest to ensure their PURE profile, activities, and outputs are up to date. A key element of Pure is that the profile data is selected and updated by each individual, ensuring researchers have complete control over their public profile.

 

Benefits of updating your Pure profile vs webpages

A major advantage of PURE is the rapid and automatic updating of research information from multiple sources. This will mean your online profile should be up-to-date and you should not have to separately update webpages manually. We recommend linking to your PURE profile on webpages.

Note: Throughout PURE, only data marked as public is visible to all users who visit your profile.
