QUT ERA Summary • ERA - Perspective - News • ERA 2010 at QUT – Overall Perspective • Few Suggestions that would help HERDC and future ERA
ERA - Perspective • A range of research outputs were submitted • ERA – has institution’s reputation attached • ERA – attached to future funding • ERA – help to reduce the gap and standardise data collection • ERA evaluation currently under process • ERA – Mammoth task, but very positive in terms of streamlining the research collection and the way we see research
ERA News • 41 Universities took part in the ERA submission • 350,000 research outputs were submitted • Reported 50,000 researchers • 480 queries were made to ARC just between 21st June to 22nd July. • ARC sent a cumulative of 360 data integrity emails to institutions (all)
ERA @ QUT (Slide 1) • QUT submitted 11,000 odd outputs. This included all eligible HERDC outputs and Pre-QUT pubs. • About 2500 -3000 outputs over the average outputs. • QUT reported 1285 researchers. About 65 more than the average number of staff.
ERA @ QUT ( Slide 2) • SEER system generated about 1200 warnings for QUT submission, mostly duplicate warnings. (SEER fuzzy logic) • Last minute changes were related to e-prints broken links, Scopus tags and duplicate checking. • VC certified QUT submission on 29th July and posted the same to Canberra.
ERA @ QUT (Slide 3) • SEER system struggled to cope with submissions from all Universities • ERA results not expected until the end of the year /possibly even next year. • Not sure of next ERA, but anticipate not before 2012
HERDC/ERA Suggestions • N/A, not sure, - • e-prints link (missing :// or htps or other typos) • ISSN – check (Ulrich’s or Scopus) • Place of Publication – Standard places • Foreign titles (both foreign and English titles required) • Be vary of data duplication, data errors • Meaningful data is essential.
