Do you have any duplicate records? If you do, they can be reported to the Library at ubira@lists.bham.ac.uk and they will merge the records.

Is your information 'healthy'? Are the records up to date? Are the authors correctly matched to staff? Have you uploaded a full text of the output and is it the correct version?  Is there a DOI? Try to add this information where possible so that others can find and access your work.

We understand there are certain pieces of research that should not be openly available and you are able to restrict access to both outputs records and projects.

If you are undertaking research where you have committed to a privacy clause or is sensitive it is still important that they are on Pure, however, these can be restricted to ensure that they are not searchable.
