Research records can be imported from external sites (Scopus, Web of Science, ORCID, PubMed etc.), created from templates available in Pure or imported from a BibTeX or RIS file. Pure can also be set up to automaticaly search for content from external sites.
Automatic importing:
Pure can be set up to search a range of online sites for your publications, for example pulling publication information from the Scopus database or capturing information from your ORCID account.
To make sure that Pure captures the correct informaiton we encourage you to add your Scopus author ID to Pure, this makes sure that Pure is searching for the right content, particularly if you have the same inital and surname as another researcher. Follow our guide to add your Scopus ID to Pure
You can also add your ORCID to Pure, this will allow Pure to collect informaiton from your previous institution and then send back new publications while you are working at the University of Aberdeen. You can find out how add your ORCID to Pure here
