Abstract

Publication of research is a goal of research capacity building initiatives. We reviewed the publications generated by practitioner researchers involved with the Primary and Community Health Research Unit (PCHRU), within the Division of Community Health in South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD), between 2011 and 2014. Publications were categorised using the Higher Education Research Data Collection Specifications. Published outputs included five refereed articles, one refereed full conference paper and 25 non-published conference presentations. A further 11 refereed articles in draft form were located. The majority of publications were considered ‘not published’ and not widely discoverable. Evidence for expected timeframes for project completion, including support for publication of research, is needed.
