Pure to Researchfish uploads

Pure to Researchfish uploads

There is a publications and datasets relations upload service from Pure to Researchfish.  It is available to all Bristol Principal Investigators (PIs) who are required to submit the outcomes of their research via Researchfish. Unfortunately we cannot upload publication or dataset relations on behalf of research students.

Bristol PIs - what you need to do

Throughout the year authors should link their publications and their datasets to their projects in Pure. For publications, the most convenient time to do this is likely to be when the publication is first added to Pure.

What will happen

Any valid links in Pure will be uploaded to Researchfish on behalf of the PI ahead of the February/March submission period.

The next Pure to Researchfish upload will take place shortly before the submission period begins (usually beginning of February, for submission period 6 February - 4pm 16 March 2023).  

Service limitations: to avoid confusion, Researchfish closes the bulk upload during the submission period, which means any changes made in Pure after the end of 26th January 2023 will not be uploaded to Researchfish.

Further details about the publications bulk upload

In addition to the publication and dataset bulk-uploads, researchers will still be required to enter details of other publications and all other research outcomes into Researchfish and to submit their return as complete and accurate during the forthcoming submission period.

Using ORCID to update Researchfish

If you add your ORCID to your Pure account, and authorise Pure to update ORCID, then details of your publications can be harvested by Researchfish from your ORCID account. Click here to see how you can create and link your ORCID in Pure. Please note, you will then need to log into Researchfish to associate your publications to the relevant awards.

You will still be required to enter details of all other research outcomes into Researchfish and submit your return before the submission period ends.

What if a project/publication link is created manually within Researchfish?

Once the submission period is over, we extract any fresh publication/project relations from Researchfish and add them back into Pure.  This enriches the Pure project records. Note that this process doesn't create any new Pure publication or project records, it just creates a relationship between pre-existing publication and project records.
