Import from file

Publications from online sources or databases to which Pure does not have access to, can often be downloaded in either RIS, BibTeX or CERIF formats. The publications can then be imported into Pure.

For example, if you have records in RefWorks you can use the export facility in RefWorks to save the file in a RIS format.

How to import from file

Once you have saved the RIS/BibTeX/CERIF-file, this is how to import it into Pure:

1. Click the green add content button on the right hand side of the Pure window ;
2. Select Research output on the left hand side of the Pure window and then Import from file;
3. Choose BibTex, RIS or CERIF;
4. Upload your file;
5. For each record that is displayed that you do not want to import, click Remove;
6. For each record that is displayed that you want to import:

7. Click import or click on the title of the publication;

8. In the import from file window that is opened, make the required selections to link the entities mentioned to records in Pure;

9. Note: If the authors are affiliated with your institution, take care to match them to people in Pure;
