When creating a record for a journal article in Pure it’s important to link it to a journal. Before creating a new journal entry for your Pure record check to see if the title already exists:
- In the Pure record Click add journal
- Make sure the search tab is selected
If multiple entries exist choose the most complete one:
- this is often, but not always, the first in the list,
- make sure it has no abbreviated words
- each word starts with a capital letter, except and, or, of etc.
If the Journal is not in the list then create a new entry.
To create a new entry:
- In the Pure record Click add Journal
- Make sure the create new tab is selected
