Why does it appear in
so many places – and
are they linked?
Office of Research
Publications appear in RAD, ePrints, ResearchMaster, Staff
Profiles, QCR Reporting.
Some are linked, some are not. Limitations for full linkage is due
to lack of technical resources (aka SAMS).

Years we are collecting
Office of Research
We are now collecting
2004-2010
Prior to this we are not expecting to be part of ERA (2003 already
collected anyway), no reporting is done on it (reporting is generally
last five year anyway), RAD on rolling timeframe and will only show
last seven years.

•
•
•
•
Send to OR for entry (author can email, send CV, coversheets available if needed
but not required). Pre-QUT authors need to be entered carefully so always send
these to OR so we can match up their external and staff records.
We will enter and source evidence (and only contact author if we need anything
additional)
OR needs to validate EVERYTHING in these categories as it is being used for ERA
DEADLINE – end of January each year (may change in future years depending on
ERA deadlines)

• ALL EVIDENCE must be entered into RM by faculty and sent to
OR by end of January 2011.
• If there is any missing material or things which need clarification,
we will contact you
• Everything must be signed off by your DOR nominate
• WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EARLY SUBMISSION
•
Later submissions mean you
•
•
•
•
•
have more paperwork on your desks for longer
Later submission means you are rushed towards the end
Later submission means your researcher may question (often continuously) why their publication is
UNVERIFIED on RAD
Later submission means OR are swamped and unable to assist with sourcing more publications for you
(such as doing ePrints searches, ISI and Scopus matchings
Later submission means quality may be compromised in terms of rushed verification

DEFINITION OF RESEARCH
•
Everything MUST meet the definition of research and be signed off by your nominated DOR delegate for your area
1.3.9. Research
For the purposes of these specifications, research comprises:
•
•
•
creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society,
and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications [OEDC (2002), Frascati Manual: Proposed Standard Practice for Surveys on
Research and Experimental Development, OEDC: Paris].
any activity classified as research which is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the
potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably
increased. Most higher education research work would qualify as research.
pure basic research, strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development.
1.3.11. Research Publications
For the purposes of these specifications, research publications are books, book chapters, journal articles and/or conference publications which meet
the definition of research (as defined in section 1.3.9 above) and are characterised by:
•
•
•
•
•
substantial scholarly activity, as evidenced by discussion of the relevant literature, an awareness of the history and antecedents of work
described, and provided in a format which allows a reader to trace sources of the work, including through citations and footnotes
originality (i.e. not a compilation of existing works)
veracity/validity through a peer validation process or by satisfying the commercial publisher processes
increasing the stock of knowledge
being in a form that enables dissemination of knowledge.

Preparation for teaching
Scientific and technical information services
General purpose or routine data collection
Standardisation and routine testing
Feasibility studies
Specialised routine medical care
Commercial, legal and administrative aspects of patenting, copyright or licensing activities
Routine computer programming, systems work or software maintenance (research and experimental development into applications software,
new programming languages and new operating systems would normally meet the definition of research).

YEAR AVAILABLE
Office of Research
Often journals are available online in the year prior to them being published in hard copy. Given they are in the public domain, we can
collect them for HERDC!
This means that if you have anything which is available online in 2010 (but is not expected to be published until 2011) you can enter it in the 2011
HERDC collection.

How OR is trying to help
Office of Research
Scopus Loads
• We’ve loaded over 300 journals into RM and have generated
coversheets and sent them to you
• Remember to use Scopus as a resource for other publications work you
may be doing – QUT has a subscription!
ePrints Coversheet
• If a work has been entered into ePrints, you can generate a coversheet
from the ePrints record
• Eventual ePrints integration
Other coversheets?
• QUESTION – who enters the coversheet details after (or during) RM
entry?

What about when???
Office of Research
A conference paper is published in a journal or as a book chapter???
•
We want to include it in its original form – it was written as a conference paper and it should
be included as a conference paper
An author has NO BYLINE on the paper?
•
We can use a HR printout
An author is bylined, but not as QUT?
•
If they did the research at QUT and want to claim as QUT we need a statement of affiliation
from them, otherwise it needs to go into the QUT Research Collection (not HERDC).
We are in 2011 and things start appearing with a 2011 publishing year?
•
We are moving towards year round entry. Categories will be open in February next year so
we can have dual collections

CRICOS No. 00213J
What about when???
Office of Research
I am entering a journal which I know is on the ranked journal list and has
quite different FOR codes on the ERA list to what the researcher has
given me?
•
Enter the FOR Codes the researcher has given you. Or will clean-up any codes prior to
submitting for ERA.
Why am I collecting FOR codes when there is some on the ERA list?
•
Until we receive feedback from ERA we don’t know with any certainty that the FOR codes
will continue to be supplied for ranked journals – thus best to keep recording it ourselves
until this is confirmed.
I am struggling so very hard to find evidence which the researcher insists is
out there but I just can’t find.
•
Give OR a call. We are super sleuths and may be able to find it or we may have already
verified something from the same book/journal/conference and have the material on hand.
