What

In Pure, it is possible to add/customize subtypes under Administrator > Research Output > Types, by clicking 'Edit' next to any template name and then clicking 'Add subtype' at the bottom of the template.

However, when customizing subtypes, it can be difficult to remember the default subtypes provided. How can you recall the standard settings?

Consequences of creating your own Research Output types

It's also important to be aware of common mistakes when creating subtypes. 

Some of the things you need to consider before adding new Research Output (RO) sub-types to Pure are listed below:

• we cannot map to RO sub-types when importing publications from online sources
• ORCID mapping file will need to be updated
• there might be consequences for assessment module mapping
• Cerif import/export - other universities may not have the same type
• API - you may need to inform users of the API of the newly added types
• historic data may need to be moved to the new type (bulk change)

You can, however:

• report on the type
• show content of the new type on portal
• see the new type in the webservice
• see the new type in CVs
• filter on the type on portal
• filter on the type in Pure
