There are several sources for importing publications to the Research Outputs section. Start by clicking the plus sign next to Research outputs.
If you have a BibTeX or RIS file from a citation manager select Import from file and follow the prompts to choose the file type and upload the file. You will need to process each item individually, matching authors and other information to information already in Pure. For assistance with this process, contact us at profiles@stkate.edu
If you want to import publications from another database select Import from online source. Each source has its own strengths and weaknesses, described in more detail in the table below. Each source provides its own set of search fields. When you perform a search, the search results will alert you to potential duplicates. If a co-author has already added one of your publications but your record isn't linked to it, open the existing publication and ask to be added as an author rather than importing a second copy.
| Source | Search fields | Strengths and Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Scopus | Title, author, author ID (Scopus or ORCID), years, organizational affiliation | Not necessary if your profile is set up to automatically import from Scopus. |
| Mendeley | Title, author, journal name, years | |
| CrossRef | Digital Object Identifier (DOI) | Fastest way to import if you already know the item and its DOI. |
| ORCID | ORCID iD for a person | If you've already put effort into building a complete ORCID profile for yourself, this is the source to use. |
| SSRN | Title. Author | Useful for working papers and preprints in the social sciehces |
| EBSCOHost | Title, Author, Years | Broad coverage from EBSCO databases licensed by St. Catherine University |
| WorldCat | Title, author | Most complete source for books, but easiest if you are working from a list of exact titles. |
| ArXiv | Author, Title, or arXiv number | Best if you know the arXiv number |
| PubMed | PubMed ID, or keywords from title, author, or organizational unit |
Best source for PubMed articles that are not included in Scopus Search by PMID for most relevant results |
