Australia's Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley, commissioned a report on how the quality of research conducted in Australia is assesed. It was conducted by the Australian Council of Learned Academies (involving the academies of science, medical science, engineering and technological sciences, social sciences and humanities).
The report, Research in Australia: Evidence for Modernisation found that the current system for assessing research careers for hiring, promotion and funding is not fit for purpose. "It has given rise to an unhelpful nexus between universities, publishers, funders and global ranking agencies, as universities and researchers chase higher international rankings through publication numbers and prestigious journals, and rankings take on an outsize level of importance."
You can read more about the report in the Chief Scientist's media statement and also in a Conversation article by one of the report's authors Kevin MConkey.

Increasingly, academic authors are looking to publish their studies as open access, so that everyone can read them. However, the processing fees that are charged for publishing open access can be prohibitive.
Many Australian University Libraries have now established what are known as 'read and publish' deals with major academic publishers. These deals combine traditional journal subscriptions with benefits for authors. They allow for article processing charges (APCs) to be waived for staff of those universities if the article is accepted.
So if you are looking to publish your research and have a co-appointment with a university, check out what your options are by checking their Library websites - eg,. Melbourne University Open Access Publishing Agreements
The Library will have some news regarding read and publish options for SVHM staff soon!
