Streamlining measures
Reporting cycle
DESCRIPTION ♦ The ARC will raise awareness that activities such as annual collection cycles are contingent on sufficient streamlining being in place.
♦ The ARC considers that three- yearly evaluation cycles are desirable for ERA and EI to ensure timely data. ♦ ERA and EI reference periods will remain unchanged if the reporting burden for ERA and EI is offset by streamlining for ERA submissions.

♦ Quantitative impact indicators will remain optional for the assessment of research impact in EI 2024. ♦ The ARC will continue to investigate and monitor international developments.
♦ The ARC will monitor the
effectiveness of streamlining measures following implementation.
