Reporting Tools

The Reporting area within Aurora allows users to export a range of publication, output and professional activities data.

These tools also provide the ability to review and compare statistics for individuals and groups (School, Faculty, Institute or Research Group). Within each of these groups there are also Reporting Groups which allows data to be exported for a sub-set of Researchers such as all Academic Staff, all Academic Titleholders or all HDR Students within this group.

Note: You are only able to access the Reporting area if you have been given the role of ‘Statistician' within Aurora.

Heads of School, Associate Deans Research and Faculty Research Managers are automatically provided with access to run reports for their School, Faculty, Institute or Research Group.

If you need to run reports for your area but don't have access, please fill out the access form and then email it to Aurora Support.
