It also details information on research staff, awards and activities, projects and research groups. Information does not appear on Aston Research Explorer unless it is in PURE. Keep your profile and research information up to date!

17. PURE – Adding new publications These are the main ways to add publications to PURE to meet HEFCE requirements… Importing from an online source: CrossRef – Use for new publication records (you will need a DOI to do this, usually issued at acceptance) Scopus – Use for old publication records (doesn’t meet OA requirements for new records, good for adding old records) Manual entry into template Only 8 fields need completing to create a record – this method can be just as quick as the online import Whichever method you use, you must remember to add the full-text document to the record!   

18. Adding new information with CrossRef Click on CrossRef – Enter DOI and click search. You will be able to import the record and check details. Once you have checked the author match click import again to automatically populate the template and save the record.

19. Adding older information with Scopus Click on Scopus – enter information and click search. When you have identified the right papers you can click on the import button. Make sure you have the right papers identified and then click import!
