The Pure personal overview screen on has been updated with some design improvements. These improvements serve to address accessibility issues as well as optimising the user experience.

The new overview is differentiated by the following sections, highlighted in the image:

• Researcher profile information
• Overview toggle
• PlumX researcher-level metrics
• Content inventory
• Projects overview
• Add new content
• Tasks and notifications
• Assessment overview
• Supervision overview
• Research relation and collaboration overview

Each of the sections of the new overview are described in detail below the diagram.

Researcher Profile Information
A personal user’s primary information is presented in this section. This includes access to:

• Public profile (Pure Portal Profile)
• Pure CVs created, and option to create a CV
• ORCID ID and option to authenticate their ID
• Researchers, can edit their profile. 

PlumX researcher level metrics
This section shows summaries for all research outputs that have associated PlumX metrics.If there are changes in the metrics between this time and the time the user previously logged into Pure, the changes will be shown above the total for each metric.

Content inventory
The content inventory is a summary of all content a user has in their Pure. Content types are ordered by the count of each sub-type. When clicked, each type and sub-type will be opened in content list view with the appropriate filter activated.

Project overview
The project overview is a visual summary that allows you to explore projects and associated outputs. Users can quickly determine if the projects and their associated content are complete and correct.

The project overview displays output related to a project within its timeline.

Projects are sorted by their start date, with the earliest projects at the top. Projects that have no end dates are shown with an ellipsis ( … ), and projects with no start or end date only display the project title.

Project-related metrics such as count of ongoing projects, and applications and awards counts and amounts are shown in the project inventory. Clicking on any of the metrics will open the appropriate editor window.

Adding new content
The Add new content button will open the standard window to use a template to create new content types.

Tasks and notifications
Tasks and notifications have undergone slight design changes, but overall functionality remains the same. Users are still notified of potential research output matches, workflow push requests, and general notifications. Users can click on links within tasks and notifications to access the appropriate content.

Supervision overview
Personal users are provided with a summary of their current and former students, with information such as student name, the user’s percentage share of supervision, and the supervision period. Output, submissions and courses related to teaching and supervision are presented in the inventory at the bottom of the section and the user may click through to the appropriate overview via the links in the inventory.

Research relation and collaboration overview
The new overview features an improved research relation and collaboration network map. Users can switch between showing all content relations in their network or their co-authorships, set themselves as the focus point within the network, arrange the network map for optimal viewing and zoom in or out of the network.

If an entity has been selected in the network, it is shown at the top of the network, with the option to set the entity as focus point or examine the details of the entity via the appropriate editor window.

To optimize render performance of the network map, a maximum of 50 top linked relations (and 100 top collaborations) are shown. Users may show more content using the link , but this may have a detrimental effect on performance. Relation types can be filtered using the drop down filter tool bar. The map will be re-rendered if new relation types are removed or added.

The network inventory highlights the op collaborating individuals with the personal user, and the most frequent affiliations listed in the research outputs. When clicking on either metric, the user is presented with the overview editor of all their publications related to those collaborators or institutions.
