RME ERA Assist is a component that integrates with the RME web application to help institutions to collect and collate data for Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) submission.
ERA is a government initiative that assesses research quality in Australia's higher education institutions. ERA submission rounds are held every three years. Rules and guidelines are provided by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and are subject to change for each round. As an example, the ARC issues a list of conferences, journals and publishers with assigned ERA IDs, which must be used in the submission.
Menu path: RME > Research Outputs > ERA Assist
The online help content to support ERA Assist is intended for the administrator/s responsible for creating and configuring ERA Assist settings in RME for the institution and collecting ERA submission data.
To successfully use the functionality provided in ERA Assist it is recommended that the administrator/s should have an understanding of:
• The research processes carried out within their institution
• The ERA process and business rules
• Fundamentals of the RME research management system
• The underlying data in the RME database
• Relational database structures and concepts
To open ERA Assist, go to the RME menu and select Research Outputs > ERA Assist.
ERA Assist will display in a new browser tab. It has a slightly different design to RME and includes separate help pages.
Configuration for the ERA Assist component is performed in RME, rather than in the component itself. From the RME menu, select Research Outputs > ERA Assist Configuration.
