If a publication is available in a database to which Pure has access, such as PubMed or Scopus, you can import it directly from the database into Pure:

1. Click the blue ‘+ Add content’ button on the right.  
2. At 'Research output' click Import from online source.
3. Check if all data are correct. 

You can also import from a file in RIS, CERIF (OpenAIRE) XML or BiBTeX format:

1. Click the blue ‘+Add content’ button on the right.
2. At 'Research output' click Import from file.

If the above does not apply, then you can add the data manually:

1. Click the blue ‘+Add content’ button on the right.
2. Select the appropriate template.
3. Fill in, at least, all the fields marked with a red asterix.
4. Click the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page. If 'Save' is not clicked, all content will be lost.

Besides publications, you can add other output, such as 'Activities' and ‘Press / media’. Examples of an ‘Activity’ are giving a talk, a journal editorship, or the organisation of a conference.  An example of ‘Press / media’ is a radio interview.

Affiliation with the publication (with the publisher)

With a publication, you affiliation with the institution(s) where the research took place and for which you wrote the publication. If you (now) have a new position, you should refer to it in a footnote (or "acknowledgments"), including your new contact information.

This is important for transparency reasons, so that it is clear (including for reporting purposes) which publications were actually written as part of the UvA.

Authorizing a colleague

In Pure, you can authorize a colleague to register your research output.

1. Click your UvAnetID in the top right corner and select "Trusted users."
2. Enter the colleague's name. 

The next time the colleague logs in to Pure, they will have the option to make changes on your behalf.
