  • Section 8: Next Steps

  • If further information is required, the Governance Office will contact you via email. Please check your email inbox regularly. 

    Your application will be reviewed by the Classification and Promotion Committee members independently, and then jointly at the Classification and Promotions Committee meeting, where outcomes are finalised.

    At times, the Committee will seek advice from experts in areas where they need additional specialised knowledge, such as information about a certain publisher or journal in a certain region or field of study. It is important to note that these consultants do not assess the applications, but only provide certain kinds of advice to aid the Committee in their assessments.

    You will be notified of the outcome via an official letter which will be sent to your email by the Governance Office. Outcomes are normally sent out within two weeks of the meeting.

    Once the official letter has been sent, your Member Institution will also be notified of the application outcome and, if relevant, your new classification.

    Should you have any questions regarding the application process or outcome, enquiries can be directed to the Governance Office.
