Restructure data and initialise ERA round

For ERA submission, specific details are required, such as the ARC_ID, journal ISSNs and book ISBNs. These details can only be extracted if the Book, Journal, Publisher or Conference configuration of Research Output Categories that are linked to Govt. Categories are linked to the master tables.

If your institution has changed the configuration of Research Output Categories, these need to be re-set. To help you do that and ensure that the required details are available, scripts have been provided in the product package in the "ERASpecific" folder. Please read the RME Research Output: Restructure Data and Initialise ERA Round document. When you or your IT department run these scripts, these categories will be linked to the master tables.
