Introduction

The La Trobe University annual publication collection will occur in conjunction with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science, Research and Tertiary Education HERDC publication data collection. Publications must meet specific eligibility criteria to be included in the HERDC collection, as outlined in the DIISRTE HERDC specifications (see below).

Aside from being a compulsory government requirement, this information will also be used to provide the basis for both internal and external research reporting and management.

Academic Staff are encouraged to login to RME.NET (using your LTU username and password) to view details of their research outputs as collected by Faculty/School Publication Coordinators. Watch a brief video demonstration with audio.

The videos work best with IE6 or Firefox.
