This strategy document presents a blueprint for transforming Australia’s social science research infrastructure over the coming decade, so it can effectively support researchers working at the forefront of their fields and equip the social sciences to address Australia’s most pressing and evolving societal challenges.

This report explores the nature and influence (positive and negative) of research assessment (broadly defined) on individuals, including career progression and cross-sector mobility. The report covers all organisations that employ researchers (public or private), all stages of the research endeavour and career, and all disciplines.

This discussion paper has been released to generate public input into the formation of the Academy of the Social Sciences' Decadal Plan for Social Science Research Infrastructure 2023-32.

The aim of this project was to identify recent developments, opportunities, and priority gaps in Australia’s social science research data ecosystem.

This edited volume reports on the findings of a three-year ARC-funded project examining the application and use of big data, data linkage and related technologies in social policy.
