Understanding Discipline and Research Allocation at UQ: Insights from Professor Alan Lawson

In this overview presented by Professor Alan Lawson, Chair of the ERA Steering Committee, we explore the complexities of academic disciplines and research classifications at the University of Queensland (UQ). Key topics include the structure of UQ's schools and institutes, the significance of various Field of Research (FoR) codes, and the implications of ranked journal lists. We also delve into the consulting role of ARC ERA advisory committees and address questions regarding perceived gaps in research visibility in fields like Criminology, Journalism, Aerospace, and Computer Software.
