Abstract
In this talk, Professor Colin Binns will review the steps taken to change the research culture and increase the research publications in the School of Public Health at Curtin University. For individual academics and the School the number and quality of publications is important for promotion, prestige and funding. This can be boosted by a coordinated research focus, the provision of adequate software and databases and incentive schemes. The recruitment of higher degree students is essential for research productivity. The costs of publication are a continuing issue for researchers. These strategies have been successful and the School now publishes about 50% of the Faculty of Health Sciences papers, with fewer than 20% of the staff.
