Create a list of research outputs based on Flinders publication category

Overview

This guide explains how to create a list of publications based on the Flinders Publication Category in ResearchNow using filters.  

The Flinders Publication Category is the publication category that was previously used by Research Master and formerly used by HERDC for research output reporting (e.g A1, B1 etc). ERA also uses these publication categories for research output reporting.

The list can then be downloaded or pinned for future use. Once pinned, the list is dynamically updated as new publications are classified.

Process

Steps

1. Login to ResearchNow.
2. Navigate to the Editor tab.
3. Select on Research outputs.
4. Select Editable to see all publications you can access and edit.
5. Choose the filter for your list.
   1. Select the funnel icon to open the list of filtering options.
   2. Choose to filter by Flinders Publication Category. Choosing a filter opens a search box for that filter.
   3. Typing A1 into the search box brings up a category entry for A1 classified publications. Select to select it. The resulting list now displays only your A1 classified publications.
6. Sort the results from one of the fields available:
   1. Select Sort by.
   2. Choose the required sort field. The results page changes accordingly. NOTE: Sorting is in descending or ascending order. To reverse the sorting, select the same option again. The black arrow indicates the direction.
7. To download the report, look at the bottom of the page and select the format needed from those next to the heading Download list.
   1. Select PDF, for example.
   2. Choose desired render (citation) style.
   3. The list is downloaded to your Downloads folder.
8. Save the filter setting. Lists created by filtering are dynamic and can be saved (pinned) for future use.
   1. Select the pin symbol to the right of the chosen filter.
   2. Give your list a name, eg My publications or My A1, B1, C1, E1 publications (where there are multiple categories).
   3. Select Save.
   4. The saved list appears under the Research outputs entry on the left side of the screen. The results are dynamically refreshed.
      NOTE: To delete the saved list, select the X icon next to it.

Handy hint

You can create multiple lists, for example separate list for each Flinders publication category (A1, B1, C1, E1) and pin each list, or create one list for all these records by selecting multiple categories as per the instructions above. 

You can edit a previously saved search if you would like to add other publication categories to the same list.

1. To add another category to the same list, Select on the saved search.

2. Select on ‘Flinders Publication Category’ next to the funnel icon

3. Choose additional filter options and save the filter per the instructions in step 8 above. You will need to save the new filter selection as a new saved search.
