Open Research & Scholarly Publications

Changeover from CURVE to PURE Institutional Repository

Pure, our Research Information System, which is managed by the Research Office working in close collaboration with the Library, will being going live shortly.

Pure will become the University repository for research outputs, replacing Curve.  Pure is a ‘one stop shop’ for research data, enabling up to date access to records in one location and bringing together information about our researchers, organisational structure (e.g. Faculties, URCs and FRCs), research projects, research outputs, professional activities and events. Selected information about current researchers and postgraduate research students will be displayed on the Pure Portal website to promote research at Coventry University. 

All repository records from Curve will be imported into Pure, as will biographical and activity information, where possible. We anticipate that new publications will be able to be added to Pure from mid-March via self-deposit.
