Section 4
Research Commercialisation Income
This table shows the total amount of research commercialisation income submitted to ERA 2015 for each year of the reference period. For ERA 2015, the reference period for income was 1 January 2011–31 December 2013.
Research commercialisation income is defined as commercial returns via income and/or capital gains resulting from the commercialisation of research outputs, services and intellectual property. Under ERA 2015, research commercialisation income was treated as an ‘applied measure’ rather than as ‘research income’.
The ‘median income’ column shows the middle amount submitted to ERA 2015 from an individual institution for an FoR code across the three-year reference period. The ‘maximum income’ column shows the highest amount submitted to ERA 2015 from an individual institution for an FoR code across the three-year reference period.
Two- and four-digit FoR codes for 18 Law and Legal Studies do not use research commercialisation income as an applied measure nor do some underlying four-digit codes in 11 Medical and Health Sciences.
