Classify the publication in accordance with the specifications and complete the relevant Office of Research checklist . Sign the checklist 5. The Composite Index Publications Data Collection is indicative rather than comprehensive . It is designed to compare relative output between universities across a selective sample of publications which meet prescribed criteria. It does not seek to measure the overall extent of research output .
Publications are to cover original work in accordance with the definitions for research.
Staff with questions regarding the definition of research should refer to their Senior Scholars in the first instance. Publications may be in printed or electronic format. It is expected that author details in the publication will contain a by-line identifying QUT at the time the publication was submitted. If this is not provided a brief note of justification should accompany the checklist. Books published by government departments and agencies cannot be included in the Collection.
