On top of the metrics made available in Pure, institutions might have the need of uploading additional metrics to journals. These can be uploaded as local ratings (Journal ratings)

To upload local ratings navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → Journal ratings
Ratings are added as yearly ratings
Steps to upload ratings
- Navigating to Administration tab → Citations and Impact factors → Journal ratings

- navigate to Masterdata → Classification scheme. Locate the scheme "Rating sources"
- Add a new classification to the scheme
- save the editor

Spreadsheet options
Column description for the uploaded file
| Column | Description | Mandatory |
| ISSN | ISSN that the journal should be matched to | No |
| Title | Used if title matches should be used for the finding the journal | No |
| UUID | Used if the Pure UUID should be used for finding the journal | No |
| ID | Used if the journal was imported using a synchronisation then the synchronised ID | No |

Matching journals
The job is using the following priority to locate the journal, but it will not try two options for the same row in the spreadsheet.
ID > ISSN > Title > UUID
Example 1: If a column have both an ISSN and Title, the ISSN will be used and if no journal is found, it will not try to find a journal with the Title if present in the spreadsheet.
Example 2: If two rows appear with the same title, it will update both of them with both values.
