The ARC publishes a national report at the conclusion of each ERA round. The reports provide information and analysis of Australia's research landscape.
The most recent report is the State of Australian University Research 2018–19: ERA National Report.
The Gender and the Research Workforce Report provides information about the research workforce in Australian universities using the data from the 2018 ERA evaluation.
The ERA 2018 National Report and more ERA data is available via the ARC Data Portal. The dynamic and interactive Data portal allows users flexibility to analyse the information for their own purposes. For example, users can choose to filter ratings by university or discipline, or search research output metadata.
The ARC Data Portal contains:
With four rounds now complete, ERA provides a unique dataset covering extensive researcher staffing data, all Australian university research outputs from 2003 to 2016, and research income and research application data from 2006 to 2016.
The national reports from each round provide the ERA ratings and a related wealth of information and analyses. Reports from previous ERA rounds are available via Past ERA Evaluations.
