How do I update my PURE profile?

All academics with a research portion to their role are encouraged to set up a profile on the Pure system to showcase their research publications, provide a biography and contact information. This is primarily for colleagues on Teaching & Research and Research Only (e.g. Research Associates, Research Fellows) contracts. Colleagues on other types of contracts (Teaching & Scholarship and Teaching Only) may request a Pure profile from the Pure team if they have research they would like to showcase. Your visibility needs to be set to public so your profile will show up on the research explorer section on the UoM website. It is University policy that the accepted versions (i.e. the versions prior to proofing and publication) of all peer-reviewed research articles and conference proceedings with an ISSN are deposited through the Library within 3 months of acceptance, link here. If you have any queries when using the system please contact the Pure team for assistance.

How much is my personal Research Support Allowance, what can I spend it on and how can I access it?
