NUProfiles
Record and manage your research projects and publications.
The MyImpact database is being replaced. Web profiles and research outputs will be migrated to the new system during September to November. To prepare for the data migration, MyImpact will be frozen and no new content can be added. Once the new system is launched, service will resume. We will share updates as available. See the news story about the replacement and migration, including guides for the new system.
NUProfiles is the university system, replacing MyImpact, which is used to record and manage details of research and publications. This information is used to promote university research via staff web profiles, publication lists and Figshare. There is a quick start guide available for NUProfiles, as well as the full user guide.
NUProfiles is also used to manage publications for submission to REF and ensure they meet the REF open access requirements. Therefore it is important that you check NUProfiles regularly to ensure that your information is current.
To help keep your NUProfiles up-to-date, when a publication is accepted, manually add the author accepted manuscript to NUProfiles (see the Research Publications and Copyright Policy). Publications are also imported automatically. However, checking your NUProfiles regularly and manually adding missing publications will guarantee your details are up-to-date.
Publications in NUProfiles can be shown on staff web profiles. You can choose which publications are shown, as well as control which university web site your profile appears on.
NUProfiles also allows you to upload the full text of your publications so that they can be made open access in Figshare. In most cases this will allow your publications to meet the open access requirements for REF and those of many research funders.
