# Question 2: How can I download a habilitation-list (in German: Habilauszug) with PMU score points and impact factor from PURE? Candidates for a habilitation can use the Habil-List webtool to generate a list of their publications, including impact factor, and PMU score points, based on the data recorded in Pure. This list provides the basis for initiating a habilitation procedure at PMU. To use the webtool, you will need your **Pure Person UUID**, which you can find in your Pure profile. Instructions can be found in the user manual linked below. [Here you can find the user manual](https://www.pmu.ac.at/fileadmin/CONTENT/BEREICHE/Forschungsmanagement/Dokumente/03_Forschungsdokumentation_PURE/Pure_habillist_user_manual.pdf). [Here you can find the Habilitation List webtool.](https://habilitation.pmu.ac.at/)Important: Please make sure that **all your publications** are entered in PURE before submitting a request. For more information on entering publications, see the [*Researcher Guide.*](https://wiki.pmu.ac.at/books/manual-for-researchers/chapter/2-create-your-content-research-outputs-publications)

# Question 3: I have entered a research project in PURE, but it does not appear in the PURE Portal. What should I do? Only projects that are both **publicly visible and validated** appear on the [PURE Portal](https://pure.pmu.ac.at/en/). **For \*\**PURE editors*\*\*:**Projects can be validated as long as they remain in the ***‘Editable‘*** category. Once the project **no longer** appears **in this category, another PURE editor** becomes **responsible** for its management (including validation). Should a modification still be required, please contact the Research Management team at [pure@pmu.ac.at.](mailto:pure@pmu.ac.at)
For projects in the ‘Editable’ category: 1. Log in to PURE (for details see [Question 1](https://wiki.pmu.ac.at/books/pure-faqs-english/page/question-1-how-do-i-access-pure)). 2. Open the project entry. 3.
