MonitoringReport2005 Quality of Research ← Strengthen Research, Knowledge Creation and Uptake for our Knowledge Society | Home Page | Contribution of Research to National Goals → Sustained quality of research output shown by high-level indicatorsExternal research earnings provide a measure of perceived quality and confidence in university-based research. Research income has continued to increase, although it has levelled off as a proportion of total income. As noted in the cross-strategy indicators, most of the growth comes from sources other than government-sponsored research funds and hence is valued by private and public sector clients as contributing directly to their needs.  University research contract income 1997–2004 Source: University Annual Reports Analysis of PBRF results has also shown that research outputs are highly correlated to research quality1. As with income, overall growth in outputs has continued, although it is possibly levelling off.  University research outputs 1997–2004 TEO approaches to developing quality research programmesThe analysis of profiles shows increased change-focus on quality research programmes across TEIs as they prepare to participate in the 2006 PBRF quality evaluations.  Percentage of TEOs with change-focused objectives relating to quality research in profiles 2005/07–2006/08 In 2006/08, most ITPs had profile objectives around developing their research programmes and capability. There focus is on applied research and research by staff in degree and postgraduate programmes. In 2005/07, universities had a focus on developing their organisational infrastructure and support. In 2006/08, the focus shifted to developing quality research programmes, as well as specific research centres. In 2006/08, all three wānanga had objectives relating to developing research programmes and capability. 1 Warren Smart and Roger Smyth, Research Measures — comparing the new with the old, Ministry of Education, 2005.
