D. Import and review your publication

Pure will first show which authors and organizations have been matched to records in Pure.

You can tell Pure which matches are incorrect or choose the correct one in case of multiple matches.

Import and Review will take you to the publication record where you can review and correct the publication metadata before you Save.

Most error prone is the process of matching of authors and affiliations to person and organization records in Pure.

The guidance section on Contributors and affiliations in this LibGuide explains how to correct those errors.
