The Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) collects information annually on the research income and research publications of all the Higher Education Providers (HEPs) in Australia. This information is then used by the Government to distribute block grant funding, such as RTS and IGS, between Australian HEPs in subsequent years. The HERDC has a deadline and is not retrospective. The 2009 HERDC for 2008 research publications will open in August 2008 and will close in March 2009. The Research Data Management Section in the Office of Research is responsible for collecting the publication data for QUT. 2008 HERDC Publication CollectionThe 2008 Collection for research publications published in 2007 is now closed and all information on 2007 research publications was submitted to the government in June 2008.
