Details of the University of Western Australia's research publications are collected annually for four principal purposes:
- information on four categories (A1, B1, C1, E1) is reported to the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) for use in allocating the research component of the Commonwealth Operating Grant;
- information on a range of publication categories is used in the determination of UWA's internal budget;
- for compiling an annual list of the University's publications and placing it on the web; and
- for a variety of statistical purposes.
The collection each year is subject to audit by UWA Publications Audit Subcommittees, the Office of the (State) Auditor General, and auditors acting on behalf of DEST.
Please complete the relevant form for each publication and submit with required evidence to the Administrator in your support area.
