Financial Support for Open Access Publishing
• QUT Library will consider payment of article processing charges for articles accepted for
publication in an open access journal where a QUT researcher is the corresponding author
based on the following criteria:
• ACCESS: The full content of the journal is publicly available online (OA) immediately on publication.
• QUALITY: Publication in the journal must confer a reasonable level of quality on accepted articles
based on the journal having a rigorous pre-publication peer review process. This could be in the form of
one of the following:
– the journal is indexed by Scopus | Sciverse or Thomson Reuters | Web of Science
– the journal is included on the ERA 2012 Journal list
– the journal holds a refereed status in Ulrichsweb
– the journal has a high status editorial board or providing significant value-adding in the copy-editing
and formatting
• If you are seeking financial support to cover article processing charges in an open access journal,
please contact the Research Support Librarian or your Liaison Librarian before submitting your
manuscript to check the journal meets the criteria. In addition to the above criteria, please note:
– QUT Library will not cover excess page charges
– payment of invoices is not retrospective.

Tracking Research Impact
• Liaison Librarians advise on:
– Discipline specific metrics and data sources.
– Author identifies (ORCID and ResearcherID)
• Tracking Research Impact Workshops inform and provide opportunity to
explore a range of tools that demonstrate the impact of work.
• Measuring Research Impact Guide gives information on metrics, tools and
strategies to enable tracking and monitoring of research impact and increase
visibility and reach of publications.
• A Research Impact Report can be requested by Assistant Deans
Research, Research or Institute Directors for the purpose of supporting large
grants (e.g. NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence; ARC Centres of
Excellence), external reviews (e.g. professional accreditations of research
groups) and establishment of research centres. Six weeks is required to
complete reports.

External Datasets
• External Dataset service
– HILDA
– LSAC/LSIC
– CURFs
• Financial Datasets
– Since 2010, QUT Library has been liaising with faculties to identify
demand for large scale commercially available research datasets
which, by their nature, are unaffordable for individual researchers or
schools and faculties. The QUT Business School is where most
unmet demand was identified in the first instance, and the School of
Accounting and the School of Economics and Finance in particular.
