Publications Database

The University has purchased an online publications database as part of its preparations for the Research Excellence Framework (REF). This database utilises web trawling technology to automatically pick up academics new publications. Future ambitions are to link this database to automatically update your staff profile, and to link with an Institutional Repository which will showcase Keele’s vibrant research activity. Further details can be found in this Publications Database Presentation.

Please can Research Institute members:

  • Log onto the database https://publications.keele.ac.uk/ using your Keele username and password
  • Look at your list of publications- Publications are in two categories ‘approved’ or ‘pending.’ You need to check through your pending publications:
    • Approved indicates those publications found by the software which have been ‘approved’ as your publications. Using information made available by your Research Institute, Research & Enterprise Services has checked through your publications for you (where information was available), which will show as approved.
    • Pending indicates those publications which you need to go through and either click on the tick or cross depending on whether these are your publications. (Sufficient information was not available to be able to make this assessment for you). These publications will then move to your approved or declined publication list

If you have any publications (from 2001 onwards) which don’t appear anywhere on the database, please email details to your RI administrator asap, so they can be uploaded

Please see the  Publications Database Quick Start Guide V4  for further guidance.

Search settings – these can be amended to refine the online search for your publications (e.g. to reflect the initials and surname you publish with and previous institutions you’ve worked at)

Automatic email – as the database finds new publications which it thinks are yours, it will automatically email you, asking if this is your publication

Further help - Your RI Manager and administrator have been trained on the database and may be able to help.
