Key & Notes

* Tally key indicators are total research outputs and research income along with research items relevant to the context of the research being conducted across a range of research areas.

The ERA rankings show some movement at the very top of the league table as the universities maneuver for the converted number one position. It is essential to note that not all universities are interested in ERA measurements and are more focused on vocationally oriented outcomes for their graduates.
