Educational Researchers Australia is an interactive database of biographical information and research interests, publications and projects about researchers engaged in educational research in Australia and overseas.

The database was developed by Cunningham Library following a request from ACER's senior researchers to develop a database that would allow researchers around Australia, and possibly overseas, to enter their details, interest areas, recent research projects, publications and conferences. The database was thoroughly trialled and tested by ACER researchers before being launched on the ACER website. Researchers are encouraged to enter data on their own research into Educational Researchers Australia . There is no charge for doing so. Information can be entered and updated through the password controlled edit screens. Researchers can include links to their own web sites, online publications and conference proceedings and may nominate up to 10 'areas of interest' when inputting their data. The database will be moderated by staff at ACER Cunningham Library. « Back to eNews
