43. An election on 24 November 24 2007 (after the initial presentation and cceptance of this paper) saw the Australian Federal Government change from a Liberal/National Coalition to a Labor majority. The current state of research assessment in Australia is that on 24 December 2007 the new Labor Government cancelled the RQF, and on 28 February 2008 proposed its replacement, ERA (Excellence in Research Australia). ERA is to be developed by the Australian Research Council in conjunction with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. It is proposed that ERA will assess research using a combination of metrics and expert review conducted by committees of experienced, internationally-recognised experts. The proposed metrics component indicates that our statement still stands: LIS academics need to consider the citation impact of the journals they publish in.
