Pure support

Only certain sections from the information held in your account in Pure will show externally on your research profile. 

These include any heading added under the 'Curriculum and research description' section, such as 'Biography', 'Qualifications' and 'Research interests'. 

Your current affiliation (school/unit) will also show, along with any contact details you have added (email address, telephone number etc). 

Your profile photo, any links and your ORCID will also be visible. 

Please note that the following fields are NOT externally visible - 

Nationality

Employee ID

HESA Staff ID

Scopus ID

Affiliation start and end dayes

Start date at the institution

FTE

Any updates you make to your Pure profile (such as, for example, updating your biography), will not update any Faculty or School webpages you may have. 

Any profiles which you may have previously maintained via My Manchester can still be updated using this system. 

Once your profile is set to ‘public’ and it is visible in Research Explorer, it can take a few days for it to appear in search results. This is because the search engines need to locate and index the new page.

If your profile is not visible in search results after 10 days or more, please contact pure@manchester.ac.uk

The majority of changes you make to your profile information update on your profile within a few minutes. 

You can make your profile visible on the Research Explorer by changing the visibility status to 'Public'. 

To change your profile's visibility setting, log into Pure and click on 'Edit Profile'. Scroll to the bottom of the editor window to the Visibility section. 

Change the visibility to 'Public' and click the blue Save button. 

Your profile will then be immediately available on the Research Explorer. 

By default, your profile and the information contained within it will be retained for 1 year after your end date and will continue to show on Research Explorer.

Before leaving you can choose to make your profile confidential and remove information from it. After leaving the University you can contact pure@manchester.ac.uk to request your profile be removed.
