DESCRIPTION
The ARC will remove the requirement to collect applied measures for ERA 2023: plant breeder’s rights patents registered designs research commercialisation income NHMRC endorsed guidelines ♦ Universities no longer need to collect this data for ERA purposes.
ERA 2023 and EI 2024 will use the revised ANZSRC FoRs to determine the UoE and UoA respectively.
As mentioned in the previous table, the ARC will seek expert advice through a working group to review the ERA rating scale, benchmarks and definition and appropriateness of ‘world standard’ for peer review and citation methodologies.
♦ The ARC will encourage greater uptake of Open Researcher and Contributor (ORCID) iDs and Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) linked to research outputs for ERA 2023.
♦
♦ Key changes will be in areas of: Indigenous Research, Technology, and Medical and Health Sciences.
The collection of these unique identifiers now will allow for greater automation and verification of future ERA submissions.
♦ The ARC will aim to increase the size, quality and diversity of the peer reviewer pool. ♦ Assessment committees will have authority to exclude units of evaluation or research outputs where significant miscoding has occurred and request a recalculation of citation profiles. ♦ New assessment advice will be published in ERA evaluation and peer review handbooks in the 2nd half
