Remember to register your publications in PURE

Saturday 15 January 2022 is the deadline for reporting publications published in 2021. This is also the deadline for making your publications accessible in Open Access.

If you are a researcher or an administrative employee who registers publications  in PURE, it is important that you check the following before 15 January 2022:

• Have all your publications been registered in PURE
• Has all relevant data on your publications published in 2021 been registered?
• Have any of your publications changed publication status since you registered them?
• Have your publications been registered in the correct categories (‘research’, ‘communication’, ‘consultancy’ and ‘teaching’)?
• If the publication is peer-reviewed, has this been indicated correctly?
• Has the Open Access status been indicated correctly, if relevant?

AU’s key figures, BFI numbers and Open Access Indicator status are based on validated data from PURE. These figures form the basis for strategic and financial decisions. So it’s important for everyone to meet this deadline. AU PURE cannot guarantee that publications that are registered after the deadline will be validated and included in the calculations.

AU key figures

In the beginning of March, AU will receive an overview of its research production. The overview includes the number of registered publications published in 2021 and is part of the university’s annual report.

Please send an email to pure@au.dk if you have any questions.

Open Access 

In early March 2022, publications published in 2020 will be harvested for the Danish Open Access indicator. So please make sure that the Open Access status of your publications from 2020 is correct. Please also take a look at your publications from 2021 to make sure everything is up-to-date. Upload the accepted manuscript to PURE, if you have the publisher’s permission to parallel publish it. If you are in doubt about what Open Access means for you, please contact your contact person at AU Library. You can read more about Open Access here.

The Bibliometric Research Indicator (BFI)

The BFI statistics are used to allocate some of the new basic research funding to the universities. For this reason, it’s essential that the university’s publications are reported on time. In June 2022, publications published in 2021 will be harvested. You can read more about BFI on the Danish Agency for Science and Higher Education’s website.
