    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Australia has been a world leader in terms of it contribution to scientific knowledge relative to its population and wealth. However, international competition in the field of research and development (R&D) is continually increasing and Australia is in danger of losing its position in the world R&D rankings. In Australia, the Universities are the main instigators of R&D of all types. However, government policy on university research is both complex and at times contradictory. This paper attempts to evaluate the Australian higher education research policy and provides some tentative suggestions on how it might be improved.
