Subject Assessments by FoR Code
Introduction
UQ Library has assessed its collections around ERA (Excellence in Research for Australia) FoR (Field of Research) codes. Most are at the four digit level of specificity; the remainder at the two digit level.
Codes assessed at the two digit level are: 01, 02, 03, 04, and 08.
Not all codes listed have been assessed by UQ Library. This is because the areas are not strongly represented in UQ Library's collections.
Assessments include UQ's ERA ranking for 2010. UQ's rankings for 2012 are being added.
If you wish to recommend resources for any of the codes, or offer feedback, please contact your librarian. The Library welcomes your input.
