Research Assessment Exercise Times Higher Education United Kingdom higher education research funding 2009

the most famous branding exercise there is for research prestige

4 more annotations...
- UK universities are dominant on the international stage
- The approach we have chosen is one that spotlights excellence wherever it is
- Institutions are ranked for the excellence they have achieved, regardless of size
- contextual information is included so it is easy to see who has the research power

The research-intensive university that shot highest up the table was Queen Mary, University of London (from 48th in 2001 to 13th). It was followed by the University of Nottingham (37th to 24th). The universities of Loughborough, Leeds and Exeter also put in strong performances as rising stars among research-intensive institutions.

- strong performances
- University of Hertfordshire challenged the middle-ranking universities, rising from 93rd to 58th
- University of Brighton rose from 80th to 59th
- Anglia Ruskin, Bournemouth and Derby
- it is research power (a mixture of excellence and volume) that will determine funding
- across all the types of league tables that could be constructed, "no single institution" had come out the best
- "Business and management studies" had the most researchers submitted

The lack of an intensity measure could dent confidence in the outcome of the research assessment exercise
It is critically important for the sector, therefore, that all stages of the process have unquestionable integrity.
4 more annotations...
- transparency, clarity and collective agreement among stakeholders
- All three now appear to be at risk after the decision not to publish the proportion of eligible staff entered for assessment at each university
- Readers' comments
- the wider media like The Times will pick up with no acknlowledgement of why the available data are so very misleading

- the raw scores achieved by departments will be "meaningless" if there is no indication of what proportion of staff were entered. "(The omission) has serious implications for academics as individuals and for equality of opportunity,"
- data that could have been used as a proxy for the missing submissions data
- Hesa's board last week agreed to supply proxy measures alongside the RAE 2008 results. This week, however, Hesa said that it could not supply these data by 18 December.
