Faculty Profiles in Pure4EGS

User guide for creating and editing profiles in Pure4EGS

Introduction to Pure4EGS

Welcome to Pure4EGS! Like its predecessor SelectedWorks, Pure4EGS is a platform that enables faculty to showcase research, expertise, and experience both internally and externally.  

 

Differences Between SelectedWorks and Pure4EGS

Because Pure4EGS profiles are linked with Scopus, during the course of the migration to Pure4EGS, additional recent scholarship that was not listed on SelectedWorks may have been added to your new profile. Please contact Digital Services staff at ecommons[at]luc.edu if you encounter any errors. 

See below for an overview of additional differences between SelectedWorks and the new Pure4EGS platform:
