Question 6: How can I assign research topic(s) to a publication?

The assignment is immediately possible when creating new publications for both researchers and PURE editors. In this case, just click on the ‘Add research topics’, and select one or more suitable research topics.

Please assign research topics for the following publication from publication year 2025 onwards: Original article, review article, case report, letter to the editor, editorial, short comment/notes, book, book chapter.

For other categories, such as abstracts, corrections or publications in which only PMU teaching hospitals are involved as internal organizations, no topic assignment is required.

Once the publication no longer appears in this category, researchers can no longer make any changes. In such cases, please contact the responsible PURE editor or the Research Management team at pure@pmu.ac.at.
