Can I add publications written before my appointment at the UG?

You can also enter your publications from before you worked for the University of Groningen in Pure. However, it is important to enter the, in this case external, affiliations correctly to avoid publications being counted in the RUG statistics.

The easiest way to add historical data is to use the Automated search option. Automated search is a function that searches a number of selected online databases for publications that may be yours. Keeping track of your publication list can be time-consuming. This task becomes easier with automated search.

Please note! Automated search goes back a maximum of 2 years. Adding publications from before the last two years can be done with an RIS or BibTex. See below.

If you have your publications available in RIS or BibTeX format, you can import them from a file. Otherwise, you can create them based on a template. Your pre-RUG publications are visible on your personal profile page on the RUG website, but are not part of internal RUG reports.

When adding your publications to Pure, make sure that your affiliation is correctly registered. By default, your current appointment (at the University of Groningen) is represented by Pure. When adding a pre-RUG publication to Pure, you need to change this affiliation to the organisation you were currently working for. Use the Changing affiliation(s) fact sheet to see how to change the affiliation in five easy steps.

Especially with larger quantities (25+) of publications, adding all these publications to Pure can be labour-intensive. For help or advice on retrieving your pre-RUG publications, contact pure@rug.nl.

Please note! Pre-RUG publications do not have full texts added in Pure.
