Research publications are important to the University of Adelaide, and reporting on published research outputs attracts significant additional funding for the University in support of research activities and training.

In accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, researchers are required to acknowledge the University of Adelaide in your publications, as either a sole or co-author. Authors are also required to acknowledge any funding that has enabled the research prior to being published.
