As a new service, PhD dissertations from AU are automatically created in Pure. Pure receives data on awarded degrees from the PhD schools' systems and makes them visible on the author's and supervisor's Pure profiles and personal websites. The data shown is title, author, affiliation, date and internal AU supervisors. The dissertation itself is not automatically uploaded, but it can be done manually afterwards. The new practice means that the PhD students should not register their dissertation themselves.
PhD dissertations from AU are automatically registered in Pure once a month. This happens after the degree has been awarded. AU dissertations therefore do not have to be created manually.
The data shown in Pure are title, author, department, date (for the degree) and internal AU supervisors. The registration will appear on both the author's and supervisor's Pure profiles and personal websites.
Note that only metadata about the dissertation is registered in Pure. The dissertation itself is not automatically added, but this can subsequently be done manually by the author, by a secretary or by the Pure team, if the author wishes. In this case, the PhD student is responsible for ensuring that all content in the dissertation may be published and complies with applicable legislation. It is also possible to manually add additional information such as links, external supervisors and related Pure content (e.g. PhD project, other publications, etc.).
If you want to add the dissertation (in PDF) to the registration, you have the following options:
-If you have an active employment at Aarhus University, you can log in to Pure yourself, find the registration and edit it, including adding a document.
-You can also contact your department's Pure-responsible administrator, who can upload the document for you.
-You are also welcome to contact the Pure Team (pure@au.dk) and ask for us to upload the document.
In all cases, you are responsible for ensuring that the document may be published, including that you have secured the rights to publish it. If in doubt, contact your PhD school.
The dissertation is only automatically registered with title and internal supervisor, so you are welcome to enrich the registration.
You can, for example, add an abstract, relevant links, external supervisors (see guide below), keywords and Sustainable Development Goals.
You can also relate the dissertation to other content in Pure, such as your PhD project, other projects, other publications, activities, awards and press coverage.
Internal supervisors are added automatically when the dissertation is created in Pure. The dissertation will then also appear on their Pure profile under "Supervision".
External supervisors are not added automatically, but can be added manually. The external supervisors will not be notified that they are registered as such in Pure.
If you have a dissertation from another research institution that you would like to display on your AU profile, upload or link to in Pure, you can register it manually under Publications.
Please be aware that your affiliation is correct: Deselect your automatic AU affiliation and add your previous affiliation under your name.
Also note whether you are allowed to share the dissertation openly, whether you can link to it or whether you should only register the metadata.
