FoR overview

Information and Computing Sciences (08) accounted for approximately 6% of the research outputs submitted to ERA 2012. Conference papers were the most common research output type. Information and Computing Sciences contributed approximately 10% of the total research commercialisation income submitted to ERA 2012. Approximately 2% of the Information and Computing Sciences research outputs were also coded to Engineering (09). Although Data Format (0804) had relatively low research outputs and staffing, it contributed a proportionately high amount of research commercialisation income.
