			== Research ==
			For the purposes of these specifications, research comprises:

			* creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications
			* any activity classified as research which is characterised by originality; it should have investigation as a primary objective and should have the potential to produce results that are sufficiently general for humanity's stock of knowledge (theoretical and/or practical) to be recognisably increased. Most higher education research work would qualify as research
			* pure basic research, strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development.

			Activities that support research and meet this definition of research include:
			* provision of professional, technical, administrative or clerical support and/or assistance to staff directly engaged in research
			* management of staff who are either directly engaged in research or are providing professional, technical or clerical support or assistance to those staff
			* activities of students undertaking postgraduate research courses
			* development of postgraduate research courses
			* supervision of students undertaking postgraduate research courses.

			Activities that do not support research must be excluded, such as:
			* preparation for teaching
			* scientific and technical information services
			* general purpose or routine data collection
			* standardisation and routine testing
			* feasibility studies (except into research and experimental development projects)
			* specialised routine medical care
			* commercial, legal and administrative aspects of patenting, copyright or licensing activities
			* routine computer programming, systems work or software maintenance (research and experimental development into applications software, new programming languages and new operating systems would normally meet the definition of research).
