Acris — Aalto Current Research Information System (Elsevier Pure)

Aalto's research information system is Elsevier Pure, deployed as Acris at acris.aalto.fi with the Pure Portal at research.aalto.fi. The data and the DOIs are Aalto's; the contract is Elsevier's. The Pure web service at acris.aalto.fi/ws/api returns 401 and its api-docs are credential-gated. Recorded as the tenant relationship it is — Elsevier's generic Pure specification is deliberately not saved under Aalto's name. Aalto's own four-path gateway wrapper over this data is catalogued separately as aalto:acris-research.
