1. Following the presentation and acceptance of this paper, a Federal Government election in November 2007 brought a change of government in Australia. The new Labor Government cancelled the RQF in December 2007 and proposed a replacement, Excellence in Research Australia (ERA), on 28 February 2008 (see http://www.arc.gov.au/era/default.htm). As details of new research measures are not yet known, this article has not been updated and retains the RQF as the context for discussion
