More DescriptionThis mapping report provides a comprehensive picture of the current state of disability research in Australia in the period since the Audit of Disability Research Update Report was published in 2017. We conducted a systematic search of journal articles, book chapters and reports to identify Australian disability research published over the 2018-2020 period. We identified 1241 journal articles and book chapters and 225 publicly available reports produced over the 2018-2020 period. We undertook a deeper, narrative analysis on key topics. These topics were chosen because they built on the categories used in the original audit reports (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with disability, policy and secondary use of data), along with areas raised by our consortium as important for understanding the breadth of disability research in Australia (people with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, children and young people, rights-based approaches, and co-research and inclusive research). We also added in an in-depth analysis of funding cited in papers.
