Integration with Data MonitorIntegration with Data Monitor
Data Monitor is a search engine for datasets. It allows scientists and researchers to search for many different data types and formats across a variety of domain-specific and cross-domain institutional data repositories and other data sources. Researchers can quickly preview and assess datasets before accessing them in the destination repository. Data Monitor indexes both metadata and the data itself, making it easier to discover datasets. Researchers can preview available datasets and select which to import. Through the integration with Data Monitor, datasets can be periodically synchronized into Pure. These datasets can then be validated and are available in Pure for other purposes, such as being shown on the Pure Portal or available in reports.
Below is a list of the metadata fields that are retrieved from Data Monitor (available in the Pure Dataset record as read only):
| OpenAire | Pure | Description |

Data Monitor has two separate offerings; a free api or a paid (enriched) api. With the free api, research managers are able to search for datasets relevant to their institution by searching with the Mendeley Institution ID. The discovery of relevant datasets with the paid api is improved, by allowing administrators to also match datasets to the Scopus and SciVal affiliation ID. Once datasets are matched to your institution, further matching is performed on the author, using the Scopus, Scival or ORCID author ID.
More information on how to enable the integration of Pure with Data Monitor can be found here (see 5.1. DataSearch takes over from Mendeley Data).
Further details can also be found in the release notes of Pure 5.16, 5.17, 5.19.
