Manage your research profile in Pure

This guide will assist you on adding and enriching your publications in Pure

Add biographical information

If content in the Pure profile is changed, please follow these instructions below.

Logging in

Log into Pure using your University username and password.

Getting started

Click Edit profile under your photo.

 

A new window will open. 

Here can current information be changed or updated if necessary. The form is as far as possible self-explanatory.

Under Personal identification : Type name variants can be entered. The following information copied from Pure Help Center explains the available variants and their usage:

Name variant Scenario where to use
Default publishing name Use this if you usually publish under a different name than your original name.  When new Research outputs are created this name variation will be used and the original name will be listed in parentheses ( ).
Former name Use if your name has changed, e.g. due to marriage, but you still want to be found (searchable) by your former name.
Known as Use this if you are recognized in Pure by a different name (variation) than your original name. Both names are searchable. The Known as name will then be used in renderings in Pure and on the portal etc. instead of the original name. Except if Default publishing name is used on Research outputs.
Other examples could be Jim vs. James, Bill vs. William etc.
Translated name Useful when you want to provide a transcribed name e.g. from English to Chinese.

Important: If you change your original name in Pure, only future content is affected. Records created while you had your former name continue to show that former name. Content is not corrected backwards in time.

After the changes have been made, it is essential that they are saved by clicking on the safe button.
