Pure Research Management System

What is Pure?

Pure is UNE’s Research Information Management System (RIMS).

The Pure Portal (web interface) allows potential collaborators, policymakers, journalists, the public, and other interested stakeholders to easily search for content.

Pure helps UNE to:

  • facilitate collaborations
  • attract new HDR students
  • showcase its research impact, and
  • effectively showcase the expertise of researchers.

Benefits of Pure for researchers

With Pure, researchers are in control of their research data. Pure enables researchers to easily link their projects, activities, publications and more, leading to the creation of engaging researcher profiles. These profiles demonstrate the real-world influence of each researcher and highlight their contributions to research-led teaching.

Pure helps researchers to:

  • Manage funding applications and awards
  • Record your research engagement activities
  • Build your public researcher profile
  • Link research projects, publications, activities and more
