There is a built-in reporting modul in Pure that can be used to pull reports on content in Pure. You need special permissions to be able to create reports in Pure.
It takes practice and good knowledge of the data in Pure to produce accurate reports. AU Pure will gladly assist with learning to use the reporting module but do not assume any responsibility for the interpretation and conclusion based on reports created outside of AU Pure.
You can finde Elsevier's guide to the reporting module below. If you have questions regarding reporting or data you may contact the Pure support at pure@au.dk.
If you have administrative rights to create reports in Pure, you can extract data about the organization(s) you have rights to report on.
If you have some experience with creating reports in Pure, you may find the templates on the reporting front page useful. They will help you get started setting up, for example, a publication list, but you must fill in the filters yourself so that they make sense in relation to your reporting needs.
When filtering the content for a publication list, you must consider factors such as:
- Should it be validated publication data?
- Should it be peer-reviewed or also other publications?
- Which publication types should be included/excluded?
- Which period is relevant? (the current year is only guaranteed to be finally validated on March 1 of the following year)
- Which organization(s) do you want to extract data from?
It is also possible to extract reports on other data types from Pure, but please contact us before you decide what you want to investigate, as we are happy to help with a look at which data it makes sense to report on in terms of data quality and coverage.
It is not intended that all Pure reporters should be experts in setting up reports themselves, and in the AU Pure team we are happy to help you: We can set up reports for you, which you can adjust as needed. These can be both recurring reports and one-time reports.
Contact pure@au.dk and let us help you.
Reporting permissions are given only to those users who have been assigned to creating reports by their organisation.
Permissions are limited to the organisational unit(s) that are relevant for the individual reporting person.
To get reporting permissions, send an email to Pure support at pure@au.dk with a short description of what types of reports you need to create in Pure.
Organisational units are synchronized daily into Pure from the Organisational Unit registry. This also applies to centres and interdisciplinary organisational units. There are both active and discontinued organisational units in Pure. It is possible to include both types in reports.
If there is a need to report on a unit that is not available in Pure, the unit must first be added to the Organisational Unit registry by AU.
NB: When AU Pure validates the publications, the publication's authors are only affiliated with the organisational units stated on the publication. This means that a center is only related to an author if it stated directly on the publication.
