University of Twente research information is the public portal where research output, profiles and activities are published.
Pure research information is the back-end system where researchers can manage their research output, profiles and activities
NEW UT-Researchers: By default your profile is set to non-visible, please follow these instructions to activate.
On Saturday September 24th and Sunday September 25th some minor maintenance will be executed on servers running Pure.
Maintenance will start at 8:00 CEST, and is expected to be done before 17:00 CEST each day. On Saturday OS patches are installed, restarting each server to apply them. Downtime for Pure should be short (10 - 20 minutes each), for Pure Portal there should not be any noticeable downtime for this part. After that other minor maintenance tasks will be performed both Saturday and Sunday that can cause some short outages.
Quicklinks
Quick reference cards
Pure research information has a lot of features, some of which are especially beneficial for researchers and their university. We have gathered the most interesting features and will clarify them in quick reference cards.

Request for training
Pure Research Information has an intuitively designed interface which is generally easy to use. If however, in addition to the quick reference cards above, you require more guidance in the use of the system, please let us know via ris@utwente.nl. We are happy to set some dates for work sessions, in which we will explain all relevant features in more detail.

Upgrades
Preprint as a new sub-type of Research Output > Working paper.
Researchers can now import, create and report on preprints in much the same way they can with other research outputs.
Pure Portal new functionality:
Research unit filters options on the following content types: Persons, Projects, Activities, Datasets, Prizes and Press Media
Scopus import in Pure:
Researchers importing content from Scopus via the Import from online source functionality can now use Scopus Affiliation IDs as their only search term. This greatly simplifies bringing content from a specific institution and greatly improves the quality of results they receive in their search.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)
Researchers can add manually SDG’s keywords to their publications and to their profile in Pure.
More information about the SDG’s can be found at the official UN SDG website
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
