Macquarie University

Macquarie University Research Portal (Elsevier Pure)

Macquarie's research-information system is Elsevier Pure, tenanted on Macquarie hosts — researchers.mq.edu.au for the public portal and research-management.mq.edu.au for the administrative side. The Pure API at /ws/api is api-key gated and its OpenAPI description is publicly readable at /ws/api/openapi.json, and it is ELSEVIER'S CONTRACT, not Macquarie's: info.title "Pure API", info.contact pure-support@elsevier.com, version 5.33.3-3, 568 paths, and a relative servers url of /ws/api that hides the host from any host-based ownership check. This is the exact shape that put 36 Elsevier Pure specs into Manchester's repo under Manchester's name. The relationship is recorded; the contract is not saved here and belongs to Elsevier.
