Pure Pure is the University's Current Research Information System (CRIS). Information held in Pure relates to research staff and their publications, projects and activities information. Pure allows for relationships and associations to be created between research inputs and outputs, providing a broad picture of research activity at the individual, research unit, School, College, and University levels. Edinburgh Research Explorer Edinburgh Research Explorer (ERE) is a non-editable web portal that provides a public view of the University's research activity. All the information that is displayed on the ERE is added and edited in Pure. Units are also able to access data held in Pure to feed information into their own local web presence, such as publication lists and staff profiles.
