Creating Datasets

As a Researcher, you can import or create metadata about datasets in PURE. Having and sharing datasets increases transparency, supports reproducibility, boosts the visibility of your research, and enables collaboration with other Researchers.                                                                                            

It is not possible to store your data in PURE, as PURE is a not a data repository system. However, you can add a DOI or a link to your database in your entry.

 

You have two options to import or create metadate about datasets in PURE:

1. Import from online source – preferred
2. Create from template

To import datasets from online source:

1.    Click on Editor in the header, then click on the + next to Datasets:

2.    Select the option Import from online source. At PMU, the search engine Data Monitor is available for this purpose.

3. Enter the DOI, title, or another identifier to search for your data, then click the Search button. Click Import to begin importing your dataset, or Remove to delete the result(s):

4. Don’t change anything in the next dialog window, simply click Import and review:

5   5. In the next step, you can review and, if necessary, edit the fields of the entry.

Adding a contact person to the record is recommended, as this information will be visible on the PURE Portal.

 

5   6. Click Save to store the entry.

To create datasets from template:

1. Click on Editor in the header, then click on the + next to Datasets.
2. Select the option Create from template.
3. Fill in all mandatory fields (marked with a red star *, such as Title) and any relevant fields.
4. Click Save to store the entry.

 

There are no workflows for datasets; therefore, Researchers can update or correct them at any time.
