An updated Pure profile is important for both yourself, FOOD and AU:

• For yourself, Pure is the easiest way to always have an up-to-date academic CV, including both regular publications but also your activities and media appearances etc. – in short, all the academic output that you find relevant and want to emphasize. Having an elaborate Pure profile boosts your visibility in the scientific world, making it easier for other people to find you, and hence increasing your chances of getting new project and funding opportunities. 
• FOOD also keeps track of peer reviewed articles per year and uses Pure as a repository. Among other things, this serves as a way of making sure researchers are able to balance their research and other obligations.
• AU’s key figures and status in the Open Access Indicator are based on validated data in Pure, and it is therefore important that the yearly registration deadline is met. Please remember to check that the Open Access status and publication status of your publications are correct and that all your publications have been registered.
