Updating metrics:
Metrics from WoS can be added to Pure in 3 ways:
-

-
Uploaded via Spreadsheet:
- Metrics from WoS Journal Citation report can be uploaded to the journal record in Pure using a CSV file (this can be downloaded from InCites Journal Citation Report)
- This can be done by navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → JCR Impact factors
- To upload the metrics use the example file to populate the spreadsheet. All metrics are yearly metrics and should be uploaded to Pure one year at the time, with a new file for each year.
- Journals are matched by ISSN number
-
Manually adding Category based metrics:
- Category based metrics (Rank, Quartile, JIF Percentile) can be added to the individual journal template manually.
- To do so, open the journal in question → Metrics tab → Add metrics → Category Impact Factors
