UPGRADES
NOVEMBER 2020 UPGRADE (13-11-2020)
The November 2020 upgrade offers new features:
Integration with datamonitor
- Enabling the integration with Data Monitor will automatically create Dataset content (associated with relevant Persons and Organisations) in Pure. Relations with Research Outputs will also automatically be created, where available.
Improved self import from Web of Science.
- It is now possible for researchers and researcher managers to search for content using the Web of Science ResearcherID.
ORCID integration update: Only export published publications, only export active affiliations
Portal redesign: UT Research Information
- Improved interface with search filters to narrow down content and surface the most relevant results.
- It is now possible to export the search results.
- Added tab: ‘Supervised Work’ in the person portal profile. This tab shows research outputs for which the profiled person served as supervisor.
N.B. Most modern browsers work well with Pure (latest versions of: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge), Internet Explorer is not supported.
Personal overview of backend profile make-over
- researcher profile
- PlumX metrics
- content inventory
- projects
- and more.......
- see the corresponding QRC for full details
PlumX filter added when searching research output
Award filters added with status option
- Automatic updates from Scopus from now on based on ScopusID
Previously the matching was based on surname. In order to have a more accurate matching on research outputs, the matching is done on ScopusID. As the ScopusID is also linked to your ORCID, we strongly advise researchers to create and always use the ScopusID (in Elsevier publications) and their ORCID. - Changing templates within activities made possible, also revalidation on activities enabled
- GDPR rules with regard to downloading results applied
- Direct acces from the Pure portal to the backend profile management
When a user logs into the backend of Pure the first time following the upgrade, a cookie is added to the browser. From then on, when visiting your profile page in the Pure Portal, the cookie is detected, prompting edit buttons to display on the profile.
There are buttons for "Edit my profile", "Edit my fingerprint" and one to edit highlighted content for each (active) content family. - When filtering research output (backend) on hierarchical keywords, option to 'Check all' to select all underlying values
Personal profile settings enhancement
- Identify more easily your primary organizational affiliation
- Highlight specific content (research output, activities
- Choose a number of metrics you want to display on your portal “home-page” (h-index, citations)
- Additional external link icons available (Google scholar, ORCID, LinkedIN, Research Gate)
Plum metrics are added
Open Access improvements
- Display of OA and paperclip icons on results page
- Filter Research output for Open Access
Fingerprints enhancements
- Only content with title AND abstract are to get a fingerprint
