Priority Processing of Records Related to RGC Reporting (2024-2025)

A considerable amount of new records have been created in CityUHK Scholars awaiting to be validated. For the purpose of the 2024-2025 RGC Reporting Exercise, the Library will first validate records of publications that fall into the reporting period (i.e. 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025) with priority. Given the high transaction volume, the processing time may take longer. We are grateful for colleagues’ patience.

For the other records not directly related to the 2024-2025 RGC Reporting Exercise, please be reassured that the Library will continue to process them as soon as possible.
