Research Information System (RIS)

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
