Pure - Publications

Both persons and organisations in Pure can be VU-internal (filed shapes) or external (outlined shapes) 

• persons:  
• organisations:  

Scroll down to the Contributors and affiliations section of the publication to check if all relations are correct.

Make an 'internal' person 'external'

When a publication is imported from an online source, it may happen that it is wrongly related to a profile of a VU colleague that happens to have the same name as one of your external co-authors.

To correct this: click Edit and choose Change person > Make external.

Select the correct 'internal' person

The other way around, you may find that a VU colleague was wrongly entered as an external person or that the wrong internal profile was selected.

To correct this: click Edit and choose Change person > Replace.

Start typing in the search field to search the complete Pure database for person records.

The search result will show both internal and external persons.

Correct a persons affiliations

By default Pure will select an author's internal VU-affiliations in correspondence with the publication date. This may not always be correct:

• a publication may have derived from only one of multiple concurrent appointments at the VU.
• a publication may have derived from a former appointment.
• a publication may have derived from both a VU-internal and an external appointment.

The page on non-VU publications provides instructions on how to change a person's affiliations.

If you enter a publication in Pure, you will automatically be listed as contributor.

You cannot remove yourself as contributor, but you can Edit your author name, role and affiliations.

You can add co-authors via Add person 

Edit personal contribution

The Edit button next to the author name will take you to a pop-up where you can:

• change the author name on this particular publication.
• change the role of the contribution (author / editor / illustrator / etc.)
• select the VU-internal affiliation valid for this publication.
• select an external organisational affiliation - see non-VU publications.

Add new contributors

The Add Person button will take you to a search screen that will first present a selection of your existing co-authors in Pure.

Start typing in the search field to search the complete Pure database for person records.

The search result will show both VU-internal and external persons.

If you can not find a VU-external person, you can use Create external person.

When in doubt: create an new record.

Change contributor order
