9.8. Foreign Language Publications
Foreign language publications are eligible to be counted. The same verification evidence is required, in English, as for any other works. It is not necessary to translate the entire publication, but all relevant sections required for the verification of information to demonstrate that it meets the criteria of the category against which it is being claimed. This includes evidence that the work meets the definition of research.

Note: The Australian Academy of the Humanities has advised DEEWR that they are no longer in a position to assist HEPs in the verification of foreign language publications in the fields of the humanities.
