THE Campus at UQ

UQ has partnered with Times Higher Education (THE) on a new initiative, THE Campus, which presents opportunities for colleagues across UQ to publish advice resources to a global community of higher education professionals.

What is THE Campus?

THE Campus is a knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer support platform providing quality, curated resources from academics around the world.

THE Campus – based in the UK – was created as a response to the global pandemic and the need for more peer-to-peer support when it comes to online teaching and learning and digital delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are articles published in THE Campus considered as 'publications' and eligible to be on UQ eSpace?

Articles in THE Campus (similar to articles in The Conversation) fit the category of 'outputs or works'. We’ve moved towards this terminology rather than ‘publication’ which can be seen as limited to the traditional legacy type of research output. ORCID now uses the preferred ‘works’ terminology as well.

All works are eligible for deposit to UQ eSpace, but the ‘Newspaper Article’ work type (as suggested appropriate for articles in THE Campus) is not eligible as a stand-alone item for government reporting exercises, e.g. Excellence in Research for Australia. In this sense, they are deemed excluded as ‘research outputs’. There is one exception to this where they can be combined with traditional research outputs (book, book chapter, journal article, conference paper) or NTROs to create a portfolio of works on a theme for government reporting (ERA submission).

Articles published in THE Campus are included in all lists of works for a staff member or student and appear in internal downstream systems, e.g. UQ Researchers, IAP, Reportal etc. (usually in an ‘Other’ category – this is controlled by the downstream system).

Can I reuse material from previously published sources (e.g. UQ website)?

Works published via external sources and deposited to UQ eSpace need to be cited via the original publishing source, and re-use would need to meet the requirements of the relevant publisher. The eSpace team ensures metadata for records of works in eSpace acknowledge the original publisher (publisher name and link to article).

THE Campus is an online platform designed for access to and sharing of content. There are no licences (such as Creative Commons) attached to the articles, however standard attribution and re-use standards apply, according to copyright guidelines.
