Changes to Fields of Research and Socio-Economic Objectives
For the first time, Fields of Research (FoR) data presented in this issue have been collected and compiled based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC), 2020. Previous releases of this issue used the Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC), 2008.
Socio-Economic Objectives (SEO) data were not collected in 2020. This was part of the ABS commitment to reduce the load on data providers during the COVID pandemic. Re-instating the collection of SEO data for the 2022 HERD is currently under review.
