If you are not sure which template to use, please ask your local Pure contact for guidance. They will also be able to advise you on Open Access and/or REF-related requirements.
Please note that the research output records that you add will be validated by your College or School research administrator. Only validated research output record will be displayed on Edinburgh Research Explorer.
External Persons Affiliations
The external persons affiliations on research output records in Pure populate the research network map on the Pure Portal. If there are no external persons affiliations on a research output record, the network map on profile pages will not include that research output record and may appear empty.
Please follow the steps below to add external persons affiliations to the research output records.
