For those of us in the ERA cycle, the following information is provided to assist in the submission of your 2012 ANZMAC papers to your research office for ERA classification

ANZMAC is an E1 conference (with the exclusion of those papers where the authors only submitted an abstract). It has been peer reviewed in a double blind peer review process, and meets the ERA requirements for a refereed conference paper.

• that the conference paper meets the ERA definition of research (section 3.1);
  • research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings.
• that the conference paper has been made publicly available by the publication having an ISSN or ISBN;
  • ISBN: 978-0-646-56330-5
• that the peer review process meets the standard specified in section 5.4.8.7;
  • an acceptable peer review process is one that involves an assessment or review, before publication, of the research output in its entirety by independent, qualified experts. Independent in this context means independent of the author
  • All ANZMAC papers are subject to double blind peer review, and Track Chair review prior to publication. This exceeds the minimum requirements
• that the conference paper has been published in full (i.e. not an abstract); and
• that the conference paper has not been submitted to ERA 2012 in any other citable form (e.g. a journal article).

For confirmation, ERA 2012 Submission Guidelines, have the following requirements
