Publication Collection

Background

The Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) (formally The Department of Employment Education and Training, DEST) collects data on the research outputs of all Australian universities. The Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) collects research publications performance data and these outputs result in research funding for universities.

This process is generally referred to as the “Publication collection”, and happens on a yearly basis, the year in which the HERDC is reported will always be one year ahead of the year about which data is being collected. Therefore HERDC 2009 collects data relating to the 2008 year.
