You are the REF

~ Library Research Support

ResearchResearch and Evidence have developed a tool which can help you to explore what the new metrics system likely to be used for the REF might mean for your department. HEFCE has said that the metrics it is likely to be using are research income, citations and PhDs. You are the REF lets you explore different weightings for different factors to see how you come out.
Please note that HEFCE has not signed up to this tool – it is purely for exploration purposes.
You can find the tool at http://youaretheref.researchresearch.com/
