The ACU Research Bank initiative is the result of collaboration between academics, researchers, Research Services and ACU Library. It contains the verified publication data of ACU's researchers and academics that has been collected for the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) and the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative. Materials included in Research Bank include:
- Books and book chapters
- Journal articles
- Conference papers
- Creative works
Use Search in ACU Research Bank to check out the research outputs of ACU staff. Some of the content collected is strictly for purposes of the university's participation in ERA and therefore not available for public or staff access. For more information, please read ERA's notice to copyright owners.
Roles and responsibilities for HERDC/ERA
The Research Services is responsible for coordinating the collection of the University's research outputs, and identifying those research outputs which meet the eligibility criteria, stated in this policy, for inclusion in the Repository. The Library is responsible for managing the research repository including data migration, metadata management to enhance search and discovery and sourcing research outputs required for the ERA initiatives.
Future Initiatives
In the near future, the repository will be extended to include ACU theses.
