Impact from Elsevier: trusted data, advisory expertise and workflow solutions for better-informed institutional decisions.
Bring more simplicity to your workflow
Pure’s automated processes reduce manual effort and help research offices and libraries simplify complex research management. Integrated systems improve data quality and, the governance of research data at source, creates a single, secure foundation of truth. Another important advantage is that Pure can prepare structured, reliable data for advanced analytics and responsible AI use.
Swap manual effort for automated efficiency
Pure automates time-consuming research management workflows, removing the burden of manual data entry, duplication, and rework.
Research offices can trust the information is up to date and accurate. Manual interventions are replaced by automated data synchronization, validation, compliance tracking and reporting.
Improved overall performance and focus. Research offices and libraries can with deal with funder and open access requirements more efficiently, respond faster to reporting requests and provide better support services.
Connect systems to eliminate silos and inefficiencies
Integrate Pure seamlessly with institutional systems such as HR, finance, and grant management platforms, plus external sources including Scopus, Web of Science, and ORCID.
Boost efficiency and performance in research offices and libraries. Connected data reduces administrative effort and improves data consistency without duplication or manual reconciliation. Existing systems are not disrupted.
Synchronize research data automatically. One source, one truth — all records consistent and up to date.
Gain a crystal-clear overview of research activity across teams and workflows.
Originally, the awards workflow at Monash University — from award announcements to fund creation — took two weeks, and data entry for detailed reporting took four weeks. Under Pure’s Award Management Module, award records are created within 24 hours, funding acceptance packages are released within 48 to 72 hours, and faculty reporting is available within hours.

Maintain researcher profiles without ongoing maintenance
Keep profiles current and correct without manual updates, using validated data from connected systems,
Minimise administrative overheads, maximise visibility and save time. Expertise, research outputs, and collaborations are all watched over and looked after by Pure.
Be confident that profiles accurately represent your institution’s research, supporting internal reporting, external showcasing, and strategic engagement with funders and partners.
Make your research data AI-ready
Pure consistently validates, de-duplicates, and governs research data at source. It uses rich metadata and international standards to create robust datasets with clear ownership and provenance.
Clearer visibility exactly where you need it, across publications, projects, collaborators, and institutional research activity.
Data is also prepped for advanced analytics and responsible AI initiatives, without increasing administrative effort or risk.

A RIMS tracks the open access status of publications, manages embargo dates, integrates with publisher policy databases such as Sherpa Romeo, monitors compliance with funder mandates and Plan S, and manages Article Processing Charges. For Pure customers, researchers and administrators can track all OA obligations from a single system — reducing the risk of compliance failures that can affect future funding eligibility.
Pure's Award Management Module supports the complete research funding lifecycle — from application tracking through to project close-out. Once an award is confirmed, Pure manages milestones, budgets, team members, and deliverables, automatically linking funded projects to the outputs and activities they generate. Integration with institutional finance systems ensures award data flows seamlessly across the organization, eliminating manual duplication. Research offices gain end-to-end visibility to manage funder compliance, monitor expenditure, and report accurately — while researchers benefit from a single, unified workspace for all their funded activity. At Monash University, Pure’s Award Management Module reduced the time from award announcement to fund creation from two weeks to three days — supporting AU$413.8 million in research income across research office, finance, and faculty teams.
Individual researchers benefit from the way a Research Information Management System (RIMS) reduces their administrative burdens through automated data integration, validation, open access compliance tracking and reporting. Pure’s public-facing researcher portal gives every researcher a current, searchable profile — supporting collaboration, attracting co-investigators, and ensuring publications reach the broadest possible audience. Professor Yong Sik Ok at Korea University used Pure to build a collaboration network spanning nearly 50 countries and track SDG-linked publications in real time — with approximately 95% of his publications involving international co-authors.
A Research Information Management System (RIMS) helps research administrators by streamlining workflows, significantly automating areas like reporting and open access compliance and informing strategic decision making. A good RIMS will offer real-time oversight of the institutional research portfolio, facilitating trend analysis or the identification of funding streams. Increasingly institutions are using AI systems to optimize research administrative functions still further — for example by handling low-stakes decision-making or managing complex processes — but the foundation of quality data provided by a RIMS is usually necessary to support these innovations. At Monash University, Pure’s Award Management Module reduced time from award announcement to fund creation from two weeks to three days — giving research administrators real-time oversight across an AU$413.8 million research portfolio spanning research office, finance, and faculty teams.
