About Pure

Pure is the University’s Research Information System. Pure stores information about research activities such as:

• Research outputs (publications)
• Professional activities and awards, outreach and knowledge exchange

It also displays data relating to research activity held in other University systems e.g. Research Grant information from the Research Grants database.

Pure allows related activities to be linked together to build up an overview e.g. a publication to a project; researchers to a project; impact statements to a publication. It is fully integrated with the Aberdeen University Research Archive (AURA) to allow the full text of publications (or other objects) to be uploaded easily.

Pure will be used, by the University, to co-ordinate the research output element of the REF2014 submission, using the REF2014 module. The REF2014 module was designed specifically to assist us with our REF2014 preparations, in collaboration with a number of institutions across the sector, now using Pure. It is therefore imperative that research staff across the institution maintain their Pure profile, keeping it up to date with all bibliographic information on their latest research outputs.
