PURE and REF

PURE was used to manage the University’s REF 2014 and 2021 submissions and will continue in this role for the next REF.

Open Access (OA) Compliance

The deposit of research output records in PURE on publication acceptance, along with a full text of the item, will allow staff to comply with the stated open access policies for both REF output submission eligibility and the policies of a number of research funders, including UKRI. Please visit the Research Outputs section for further info on how to add a research output to PURE.
