The Impact of Impact
Interesting analysis of the 2014 REF results by my colleague Seb Oliver. Among other things, it shows that Physics was the subject in which “Impact had the greatest impact”..
The Impact of Impact
I wrote the following article to explore how Impact in the Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF2014) affected the average scores of departments (and hence rankings). This produced a “league table” of how strongly impact affected different subjects. Some of the information in this article was used in a THE article by Paul Jump due to come out 00:00 on 19th Feb 2015. I’ve now also produced ranking tables for each UoA using the standardised weighting I advocate below (see Standardised Rankings).
UoA | Unit of Assessment | Effective Weight of GPA ranking in each sub-profile as % | ||
Outputs | Impact | Envir. | ||
9 | Physics | 37.9 | 38.6 | 23.5 |
23 | Sociology | 34.1 | 38.6 | 27.3 |
10 | Mathematical Sciences | 37.6 | 37.5 | 24.9 |
24 | Anthropology and Development Studies | 40.2 | 35.0 | 24.8 |
6 | Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Science | 42.0 | 33.0 | 25.0 |
31 | Classics | 43.3 | 32.6 | 24.0 |
16 | Architecture, Built Environment and Planning | 48.6 | 31.1 | 20.3 |
