Esteem

Esteem indicators constitute recognition of the research quality of eligible researchers and indicate that a researcher is held in particularly high regard by peers in their discipline or by other well-qualified parties.

They must embody a measure of prestige and be recognised by experts within the discipline as a highly-desired, highly-regarded form of accolade or acknowledgment.

The esteem measures eligible for ERA are:

• Editor of a prestigious work of reference;
• Fellowship of a learned academy and membership of AIATSIS;
• Recipient of a nationally competitive research fellowship;
• Membership of a statutory committee; and
• Recipient of an Australia Council grant or Australia Council fellowship.
