 | This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (February 2016) |
The term e-Research (alternately spelled eResearch) refers to the use of information technology to support existing and new forms of research. E-research extends e-Science and cyberinfrastructure to other disciplines, including the humanities and social sciences.

Overview[edit]
Examples of e-Research problems range across disciplines which include:
Modelling of ecosystems or economies -[edit]
Exploration of human genome structures -[edit]
Studies of large linguistic corpora -[edit]
Integrated social policy analyses -[edit]
Principle features of e-Research include[edit]
Collaboration[1] -[edit]
Use of grid-computing technologies -[edit]
data-intensive activity -[edit]
E-Research includes research activities that use a spectrum of advanced information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities. It embraces new research methodologies emerging from increasing access to:
- networks
- services
- tools
In Australia[edit]
Specialist services, centres or programmes instituted to support Australian data and technology intensive research operate under the umbrella term: eResearch. In March 2012, representatives from these eResearch groups came together to discuss the need build a "collaborative program to strengthen eResearch and address issues facing the sector nationally".[2] The Australian eResearch Organisation (AeRO) emerged from this forum as "a collaborative organisation of national and state-based research organisations to advance eResearch implementation and innovation in Australia".[3] Professionals working in Australian eResearch annually convene a conference known as: eResearch Australasia.[4]
