Vision for Explore Bristol Research
The Pure project board, chaired by Professor Guy Orpen, agreed a vision statement for Explore Bristol Research:
We envisage that Explore Bristol Research will be an important means by which we are able to display and promote detailed information about research at the University of Bristol. We believe that at the heart of our research are the people who carry out the research, and therefore we want to use Explore Bristol Research as a means of promoting our staff and highlighting collaborations between people and groups of people. We have produced Explore Bristol Research to:
- promote the range and breadth of research and people at Bristol, enhancing the communication of our research strengths and achievements to external audiences
- break down the traditional boundaries of Schools/Faculties in the display of information about our research, to allow audiences to browse and search research activity and people across our internal organisation structure
- make available full texts of publications
- make openly available information about research at the University of Bristol
- reduce re-keying and encourage information to be entered directly into Pure where it can also be used for other purposes, rather than into a website
The Pure Portal will be a very important tool in supporting the delivery of several of the priorities set out in the University of Bristol Research and Enterprise Strategy 2009-2016. In particular, Priority 1: To be recognised globally for the quality of our research, Specifically, Objective 1.5: To enhance the communication of our strengths and promotion of our achievements.
