Pure

Pure is the University’s Current Research Information System (CRIS). Pure stores and preserves digital content relating to research at GCU, including staff research outputs, funding applications and projects, activities and impact. All academic staff have access to Pure.

The University's research repository, ResearchOnline, displays content in Pure including research outputs and staff research profiles. The repository increases the visibility of research at GCU by providing open access to research outputs which are free to read and download and allows staff to comply with REF, funder and University policy requirements.

• Access Pure directly on and off campus without the need for VPN software
• Access for all academic staff
• Improved data quality and integration with other University systems
• New REF and awards management functionality coming soon
