OPUS – DATA COLLECTION Over the last few years the Research Office has developed and refined an on-line publications data collection system - "OPUS". The OPUS system is now available for on-line entry of 2001 publications. The closing date is Friday 8 March 2002.
The University is required each year to report to DEST, formerly DETYA, on publications produced by the institution in the previous year.
The data collected by DEST is used in the allocation of institutional block grants - the Institutional Grants Scheme (IGS) and the Research Training Scheme (RTS). The IGS essentially supersedes the Research Quantum, and the RTS funds postgraduate research places.
Although the DEST data collection is restricted to a range of publication types ('proxy categories'), the University collects data on all categories of publication. This data is used in the allocation of funds within the University.
In addition, the data collected is collated and published in the University's annual Research Report.
It is important that any member of the University who was an author, or co-author of a publication in 2001, report this via OPUS.
The system has been designed to be user-friendly. All you need to do is log onto the website and follow the instructions. The URL for OPUS is:
http://www.ro.mq.edu.au/OPUSdefault.htmProcedures are essentially the same as last year, however there are some amendments
including additional DEST proxy categories which are listed in ‘Changes/Updates'.To assist in preparation of the Research Report, we are now requesting one additional photocopy showing headings that include special characters. This should be included with the other verification material sent to the Research Office.
In the first instance, all enquiries should be directed to David MacDonald, Publications Audit Officer, Research Office:

Welcome to New Staff A Welcome to New Staff is held at the beginning of this year, for all staff who have joined Macquarie University since February 2001, with the purpose of familiarising new staff with the University. The program will include a welcome address from the Vice-Chancellor, followed by the introduction of the University Executive and Senior Staff. It also enables new staff and many of the senior staff of the University to meet informally over morning tea. Morning tea will be served. Date: Tuesday 12 February
OH&S for Managers, Supervisors and Safety Coordinators Effective training of supervisory personnel has a major impact on the ability of management to implement and maintain appropriate systems of work. Increasingly regulations, legally required Australian Standards, and approved Codes of Practice call for specific training of Managers and Supervisors and other line management personnel. Enforcement activity by government inspectors reinforces the importance of this aspect of OH&S management systems. OH&S philosophy is based on the principle that ‘supervising for safety’ must be integrated with all other management/supervisory imperatives e.g. productivity, quality. This one-day course gives staff the specific OH&S knowledge and skills to allow integration. More details at:
Lunch will be provided. Date: Thursday 14 February
Introduction to OH&S In this workshop the following issues will be addressed: · Legal responsibilities of the employer e.g. liabilities for
employees and non-employees, rights and responsibilities of employees;
Lunch will be provided. Date: Friday 15 February
Biosafety Issues and Research and Teaching This workshop is open to academic and technical staff, and honours and postgraduate students working in or advising those who work in areas involving biosafety issues. This includes research and teaching projects. We strongly encourage supervisors responsible for advising students who will be conducting research involving biosafety issues, to attend this workshop. While biosafety may have always been of concern to scientific researchers, the level of government and community interest in the topic has escalated over the last five years. This has been manifest in increasing government legislation in the area, and calls for much greater accountability. This workshop has been designed to provide participants with up-to-date information about the relevant legislative and policy frameworks within which researchers and institutions must operate with regard to biosafety issues and to update participants on the policies and procedures of the Biosafety Committee. Discussion and questions from participants are encouraged regarding general issues, particular teaching or research projects or Biosafety Committee applications. Case studies of good and poor practice will be used to illustrate issues of concern. Participants will also be encouraged to think more broadly about what
it means to be an ethical researcher and information will be provided as
to the relevant external and internal policies and guidelines covering
this area.
Lunch will be provided at 12.30pm. Date: Monday 18 February
Academic Staff Performance Management System Adviser Training This two-day workshop is designed to train Academic Staff Advisers appointed according to the Macquarie University Enterprise Agreement 2000-2003.

Research and Teaching Projects Involving Human Participants This workshop is open to academic staff and postgraduate students conducting teaching projects or research involving human participants. This includes research and teaching projects. We strongly encourage supervisors responsible for advising students who will be conducting research involving human participants to attend this workshop. This workshop has been designed to provide participants with up-to-date information about the relevant legislative and policy frameworks within which researchers and institutions must operate with regard to research involving human participants, and to update participants on the policies and procedures of the Ethics Review Committee (Human Research). Discussion and questions from participants are encouraged, regarding general issues, particular teaching or research projects or ethics applications. Case studies will be used to illustrate issues of concern. Participants will also be encouraged to think more broadly about what it means to be an ethical researcher, and information will be provided as to the relevant external and internal policies and guidelines covering this area. The workshop will involve short presentations from the Chair of the Ethics Review Committee (Human Research), and the Research Ethics Officer, as well as ample opportunities for open discussion and questions. Lunch will be provided at 12.30pm. Date: Monday 25 February

However, the Agreement also makes allowance for staff already highly skilled in undertaking selection proceedings, to attend a shortened version of the program. In Section 7.03.14, the Agreement states that staff who, in the opinion of the Vice Chancellor, have demonstrated a high level of expertise through their participation in selection processes, shall be required to attend a one day workshop. These workshops are open to both academic and general staff.

MACQUARIE IN THE MEDIA |
Back to Top
Macquarie University Media Mentions 2001 Macquarie University maintained its high media presence during 2001, with 1,293 reported mentions of Macquarie University staff in the media, compared to 953 in 1999 and 1,296 in 2000.
The biggest month of the year media-wise was September – mostly due to the events of September 11 and the media’s insatiable appetite for experts who could comment on any angle relating to the terrorist attacks. Dr Andrew Vincent and Dr Greg Pemberton from the Politics Department were notable media performers during this time. Political commentary leading up to the election contributed to November’s figures, with Professor Murray Goot from Politics in demand for his analysis of opinion polling.
Macquarie University News stories continued to attract considerable media interest during the year.
The Public Relations and Marketing Unit would like to thank all the staff who have generously cooperated with the media, sometimes at very short notice and at very odd hours. Macquarie’s profile in the community is certainly enhanced through your efforts.
A month by month comparison of the three years follows:
