With regards to John Lamps journal list, it is a copy of the *first* ERA journal list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excellence_in_Research_for_Australia There is a second ERA journal list being compiled for 2012. Submissions closed yesterday, and review of ranking is now underway. The journal list can be browsed via the website. https://roci.arc.gov.au/ However there is no publicly download-able dataset available yet. If anyone wants a copy of the second ERA journal list in xml or csv, I can provide it offlist.

One important point to note in regards to conferences in that journal list is that conferences are only ranked for the disciplines of * 08 Information and computer science http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/4C3249439D3285D6CA257418000470E3?opendocument * 09 Engineering http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/050A7395E86A9719CA257418000477A2?opendocument * 12 Built environment and design http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/B20002D4CAD6966DCA257418000498EA?opendocument IMO the ranked conference list was useless in the 2010 ERA process and results. I've yet to see any improvement in this area for the 2012 ERA. -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
