The portal visibility of a publication depends on three status fields:

• publication status: should at least be Accepted / In press
• workflow status: should not be Entry in progress
• visibility status: should be Public

For more detailed information, see Criteria for portal visibility.

The workflow status in Pure relates to the validation process by the local Pure administrator of a department or faculty. This validation is required for reporting on research output listed in Pure.

Scroll down to Publication managed by to find out which is the Managing organisational unit responsible for validating your publication. If you have a co-author in a different faculty or department, your publication may have ended up in the workflow of that unit.

When you enter a publication record in Pure, you can choose between workflow steps: Entry in progress and For validation.

For more detailed information, see Guidelines for data entry > Workflow status.

Scroll down to Relations in the publication record and select the content type you want to add.

Start typing in the search field to find the item of your choice.

An easy way to get in touch about a publication is through History and Comments. Here you can post a comment for:

• a co-author
• your local Pure administrator
• Library Pure Support

Use the History section to find out who modified your publication in Pure.
