Welcome to Pure
Pure is a Current Research and Information System (CRIS) which answers many of the University's current research management and reporting needs.
The University has implemented Pure to act as a single point of information about our research. Pure takes data on research from our existing data systems (Agresso, SAMIS, iTrent and Opus) and combines it with data stored directly in Pure (e.g. impact and esteem activities) to provide an overview of research at Bath. It provides a vital tool for research management; reducing the requests for research data from departments and enhancing the data available for planning purposes.
Pure contains data about and can report on all aspects of research information, including (but not exclusively):
- Research staff
- Grants and contracts
- Publications
- Research impact
- Collaborations
- Post-graduate research students.
This information will be available on the desktop to every member of staff in a tailored view: i.e. academics can see data on their own research projects, publications and students; HoDs on their Department; Deans and Associate Deans on their Faculty. Access to all data is strictly controlled both within and outside the University to ensure potentially sensitive information is not made widely available.
Pure will provide an interface with the HEFCE REF software allowing us to make our REF2014 submission and the University’s REF Dress Rehearsal exercise will be driven through Pure.
