Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) Initiative

The Excellence in Research for Australia Initiative has replaced the Research Quality Framework (RQF).

ERA is being developed by the Australian Research Council (ARC) in conjunction with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. It will assess research quality using a combination of metrics and expert review by committees comprising of experienced, internationally-recognised experts.

More information about ERA can be found in the Ministers for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research media release on ERA .

These pages provide information about how to use a range of resources which may help you to measure and evaluate the quality and impact of research publications.

Contact your Faculty Librarian to learn how to make the most of the Library's resources and services. Your Faculty Librarian has subject specific reference and information skills and can:

  • Help you with identifying and searching online resources
  • Show you how to set up citation alerts
  • Instruct you how to identify quality publishing sources.
