Preparing a grant application?
QUT Library offers tailored support to researchers preparing grant applications, helping you find and use metrics and other evidence to demonstrate research impact.
Explore Databases & Tools
Access a range of subscription databases to find citation and publication metrics, as well as evidence of impact in policy, patents, and media. Coverage varies by discipline (especially in HASS) so consider using additional sources like Google Scholar, OpenAlex, WorldCat, and Trove to strengthen your case.
Update Your Profiles
Ensure your Scopus, Web of Science, and ORCID profiles are accurate - this helps improve the reliability of your metrics. Keeping your ORCID profile up to date is especially important for ARC RMS submissions. The easiest way is to add your publications to Pure and link your ORCID.
Book a Consultation
Your Liaison Librarian can help you:
Update author profiles
Navigate metrics and altmetrics tools
Understand and describe metrics
Provide evidence for your application
