Introduction to Pure
- What is Pure?
Pure is the University’s new Research Information System.
Pure replaces our old Research Expertise publications database. It will store information about other research activities such as awards, professional activities, outreach and knowledge exchange in addition to displaying other research related information from University corporate applications.
Pure will allow related content to be linked together to build up an overview of research activity (e.g. research outputs to a project, impact statements to projects and / or research outputs).
- Why should I use Pure?
We are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the value and impact of our research activities. Pure is a powerful tool to help both the University and the individual researcher to store information about research activities. Pure also helps make this information readily accessible for other purposes such as display on web pages, development of grant applications or to respond to funding bodies’ reporting and monitoring requirements. It will also help to increase the world wide visibility of the University’s research portfolio.
