Background

Each faculty member had to confirm that the information was accurate.

March October Admin site usage survey Percentage of faculty member logged in: 10% 2017

Preliminary phase

: Campus only access

Account set up Admin:

Portal Open to public Timeline for implementing Pure at KyushuU.

Actions to increase usage

• Send E-mail reminder (from executive) to those who had yet to log into Pure

(about 2,000 staff)

• Hold seminars and faculty development (FD)
• Produce and distribute flyers
• Call on faculty members to login and confirm information about achievement
• n the admin site at meetings

| 10

Seminar and Faculty Development

• Faculty Development (FD)

dedicated to particular departments

By dissemination of Pure inside campus, we tried to gather users. For beginners More detailed for all faculty members, students

• Seminar

held several times a year periodically

Increasing the access to “KyushuU’s researcher database”

Positive side effects

Oct Nov Dec Jan Up more than 10% (about 15,000 visitors) from the same month last year It is assumed that people who visited Pure accessed “KyushuU’s researcher database” as well.

Trend analysis

Exclude papers with more than 1,000 authors from the analysis

| 23

Diversity in KyushuU

• Combine research data and gender with human resource data

(Use Precise gender information)

• Compare research activity between men and women

throughout the entire university and between each department IR office: Analyze research performance in the context of gender Method of analysis KyushuU’s mission: Increase diversity in the research environment

| 24

Increased rate of publications by women is higher than that of men.

Connecting Q-RADeRS and Pure Effect  Save each person 2 hours per person per month

and reduce the burden and stress of inputting data

If all faculty use this function,

4,588 hours will be saved to input data.  37 items (20% of the total “Research” items) were

inputted automatically by connecting Q-RADeRS and

Pure.

| 32

Difficulty in developing

• Few precedents of using Pure API in other universities of Japan.
• Mapping Q-RADeRS and the xml available via Pure API

| 33

Ongoing Challenges and plans for the future

• Improve operability between Q-RADeRS and Pure
• Modifying the programs for API update

Conclusion

We use Pure not only for our executives but also for

• ur faculty members and students.

How are we able to achieve positive outcomes using Pure?
