As previously advised, Pure, the University’s research information system, will be moving to cloud hosting during the week commencing 24 April 2023.

There will be an extended outage period for Pure from Monday 24 April – Tuesday 2 May. This outage period is required due to the sheer volume of data that Pure has amassed over the last six years, and the testing requirements that go along with this type of migration.

What do you need to do?

Anyone with research outputs that have recently been accepted for publication are encouraged to finalise any outstanding output deposits into Pure prior to the outage. You are also encouraged to contact researchdata@soton.ac.uk if you will need a data DOI, as they cannot be issued or registered during the outage.

Further information is available on the previous Sussed notification.

If you have any questions about this upgrade, or Pure in general, please get in touch at pure@soton.ac.uk.
