Introduction

Different research related activities can be added to Pure as 'Activities', such as:

• editorial or grant peer review boards
• committees
  
• engaging with schools
• organising and attending conferences

Activities are included in your Research Activity Report.

Adding activities

Select the ‘Add content’ button at the top right of the screen and select ‘Activity’. Next, choose a template.

To help you identify the most appropriate template we have created ‘A guide to entering common research-related activities in Pure’. This guide is particularly useful if you need advice on how to record your conference activities and outputs.

General rules to filling in the template

When filling in your chosen template:

1. Complete all mandatory fields marked with a red asterisk.
2. Add as much information as possible.
3. Leave the ‘Keywords’ section empty.
4. Under ‘Relations’ link your activity to your other content in Pure. For example, for your impact records you should identify the activities you have undertaken to achieve impact.
5. Remember to save your record before you close it.
6. Activity records will be displayed on the Research Portal by default. Change the visibility setting to ‘Backend – Restricted to Pure users’ to stop the record from being publicly displayed.
   

Uploading files to activity records

If you upload any documents to activity records, you must comply with the University’s Deposit Licence and ensure that you hold the copyright for the file or are authorised to upload and publicly display the file by the copyright owner.

Activity records are not validated, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the content is accurate, appropriate for public display, and does not infringe any copyright.
