How do I handle research data classified as Highly Protected?
If your research data falls under the “Highly Protected” security classification, there are specific instructions around how it must be handled (collected, transferred, stored, and worked on). Here, we provide a guide for handling Highly Protected research data appropriately.
Criteria for Traditional Publication Types: B1 – Book Chapters
The Sydney Research Collection (SRC) comprises information on all research published by staff, students, and honorary associates.
For the purposes of this collection the University will apply the ERA definition of Research.
Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings.
All research publications that meet the eligibility criteria are collected in IRMA.
The 4 main publication types for traditional research outputs are:
- Books – Authored Research (A1)
- Book Chapters – Commercial Publisher (B1)
- Journal Articles – Refereed, Scholarly Journal (C1)
- Conference Proceedings – Full Paper Refereed (E1)

Check the status or follow-up on a Research request in Service Now
This article outlines how to check and/or follow up on the status of a Research request in the Services Portal
Important: Please always check the status and update your existing ticket. Sending a new email to research.support, or adding this address to the CC field always generates a new ticket. Those must be manually assessed and can cause delays in responding to your request.
Storage of scheduled drugs
All drugs must be stored consistently with the manufacturer’s instructions, including instructions about temperature control and expiry dates.
Researchers in possession of high risk drugs, Schedule 4D, Schedule 8 or Schedule 9 drugs (including dilutions), must keep the drugs stored:
- In a safe or other receptacle securely attached to part of the premises
- Kept securely locked when not in immediate use
- Only used to store drugs and no other goods, except for related documents
- Within a secure laboratory or animal facility
Only authorised users listed on the NSW Authority to Possess or Supply Schedule 8 or Schedule 9 substances are permitted to have access to the storage for the drugs listed on the Authority.
Access to S4D drugs must only be given to authorised team members.
A drug register should be kept at the storage location of high risk drugs.
For any queries in relation to scheduled drug processes and procedures, please contact: scheduled.drugs@sydney.edu.au
