Why don’t I have a profile page on the UG research portal?
All staff members with content in Pure have a profile page on the UG research portal. Unless you have chosen not to have a profile page on the UG website (rug.nl). In that case, you do not have a profile page on the UG research portal either. You can adjust this yourself in Pure by setting the visibility settings to public in the 'Edit profile' section.
Attention: this will NOT activate a profile page on the UG website!
-
Why can I no longer make changes from within the MePa using Prospero?
Editing your MePa has for some time been possible only with the web editor Apollo.
To edit publications, activities, and other research output, you can make changes in Pure.
-
How can I manage the content shown in my research overview tab?
Your research content will appear by default in order of creation date.
Publications, activities and press clippings that are added to your highlighted content CV will replace those presented by default on your overview page.
-
When will my entries in Pure be visible in the UG research portal? And can I control what output is visible, and what is not?
Whether research output is shown in the UG research portal depends on its 'workflow' status in Pure. More information, see: Workflow status.
In addition, the UG has decided to introduce the Open access procedural regulations for short academic works by UG staff members in the context of the Taverne amendment to give an extra boost to open access publishing. Under these regulations, full text publications by UG authors will automatically be made available in open access via Pure six months after their first publication in a journal or edited book. You have the option of opting out.
-
My name is presented in different ways. How do I ensure that my research is always found?
For optimal search results and presentation, Pure uses several variants of your name. You can find these in your user profile.More information, see: Name variants.
-
Can I make an overview of a selection of my work?
Your research content will appear by default in order of creation date.
Publications, activities and press clippings that are added to your highlighted content CV will replace those presented by default on your overview page.
-
Can I put projects I am participating in in Pure?
The Awards and Projects modules in Pure is not being used by all faculties, nor is it possible for personal users of Pure to add awards or projects to Pure.
Please contact your Pure coordinator.
-
Can I create a CV in Pure?
Yes, you can, see: Create a public CV.
-
Can I add publications written before my appointment at the UG?
You can also enter your publications from before you worked for the University of Groningen in Pure. However, it is important to enter the, in this case external, affiliations correctly to avoid publications being counted in the RUG statistics.
The easiest way to add historical data is to use the Automated search option. Automated search is a function that searches a number of selected online databases for publications that may be yours. Keeping track of your publication list can be time-consuming. This task becomes easier with automated search.
Manual (PDF): How to activate Automated search in a few steps.
Please note! Automated search goes back a maximum of 2 years. Adding publications from before the last two years can be done with an RIS or BibTex. See below.If you have your publications available in RIS or BibTeX format, you can import them from a file. Otherwise, you can create them based on a template. Your pre-RUG publications are visible on your personal profile page on the RUG website, but are not part of internal RUG reports.
When adding your publications to Pure, make sure that your affiliation is correctly registered. By default, your current appointment (at the University of Groningen) is represented by Pure. When adding a pre-RUG publication to Pure, you need to change this affiliation to the organisation you were currently working for. Use the Changing affiliation(s) fact sheet to see how to change the affiliation in five easy steps.
Especially with larger quantities (25+) of publications, adding all these publications to Pure can be labour-intensive. For help or advice on retrieving your pre-RUG publications, contact pure@rug.nl.

I want to supplement my publication with an English-language abstract: how do I do that?
By adding an English-language abstract to a publication, you help Pure attach SDG labels to your research. It does depend on the terms you use in the abstract. In any case, Dutch and other non-English abstracts do not add SDG labels to the publication.
- Open the Pure record of a publication
- Click on the English flag at the top left, below the ID number.
- Then scroll down to the 'Abstract' section
- Add the English abstract in the field with an English flag
- Click on the 'Save' button
Pure's SDG job can now review this English-language abstract and possibly assign an SDG label to the publication.
