This document sets out the main results of the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF). Key points 2. The REF is the new system for assessing the quality of research in publicly funded UK higher education institutions (HEIs). It replaces the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), last conducted in 2008. 3. The results of the 2014 REF demonstrate the high quality and enhanced international standing of research conducted in UK HEIs. The results show that the quality of submitted research outputs has improved significantly since the 2008 RAE, consistent with independent evidence about the performance of the UK research base. The results also demonstrate the wide range of outstanding social, economic and cultural impacts that research has contributed to. 4. This document reports the overall quality profiles awarded to the 1,911 submissions made to the REF.

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the new system for assessing the quality of research in UK higher education institutions (HEIs). It replaces the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), last conducted in 2008. 8. The REF was undertaken by the four higher education funding bodies for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It was managed by the REF team based at HEFCE on behalf of these bodies, and was overseen by a steering group of representatives from these bodies. 9. The primary purpose of the 2014 REF was to assess research quality and produce results for each submission made by institutions: • The four UK higher education funding bodies intend to use the REF results to inform the selective allocation of their research funding to HEIs, with effect from 2015-16. • The assessment provides accountability for public investment in research and produces evidence of the benefits of this investment. • The results provide benchmarking information and establish reputational yardsticks. 10. The 2014 REF was a process of expert review. Submissions were made by 154 UK HEIs1 in the 36 REF units of assessment (UOAs). A total of 1,911 submissions were made, including a total of 52,061 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff2. The size and scope of each institution’s submissions ranged from 3 FTE staff submitted in a single UOA, to more than 2,500 FTE staff submitted in 32 UOAs. 11. During 2014, the submissions were assessed by an expert sub-panel for each UOA. The 36 sub-panels worked under the guidance of four main panels, who were responsible for signing off the results. Each submission was assessed in terms of three elements, which were combined to produce an ‘overall quality profile’ awarded to each submission: a. The quality of research outputs. This sub-profile contributes 65 per cent of the overall quality profile. b. The social, economic and cultural impact of research. This sub-profile contributes 20 per cent of the overall quality profile. This is a new feature in the assessment framework. c. The research environment. This sub-profile contributes 15 per cent of the overall quality profile. Overall results 12. The results of the 2014 REF demonstrate the high quality and enhanced international standing of research conducted in UK HEIs. The results show that the quality of submitted research outputs has improved significantly since the 2008 RAE. This is consistent with independent evidence about the international performance of the UK research base. The results also demonstrate that research in all UOAs has led to a wide range of outstanding and very considerable social, economic and cultural impacts. 13. Table 1 shows the average overall quality profile, and the average sub-profiles, for all submissions made to the REF3. To calculate these averages, the results for each submission are weighted according to the number of FTE staff in the submission. Table 1.

This overview provides a summary of the REF results at sector level. For further details and analysis see www.ref.ac.uk, in particular the ‘Analysis’ section under ‘Results & submissions’ and the main panels’ overview reports under ‘Publications’ (available from January 2015). 1 155 institutions made submissions in November 2013. Two of them merged before the results were published, so the results are presented for 154 institutions. 2 Unless stated otherwise, all numbers of staff presented in this document refer to Category A full-time equivalent (FTE) staff. See paragraph 28 for a definition. 3 Submissions with 3 or fewer staff (headcounts) are excluded from the calculation of the average sub-profiles. There were 16 submissions with 3 or fewer staff (headcounts). REF 01.2014 3 Outputs Environment 15. The REF expert panels have found significant improvement in the quality of submitted research outputs since the 2008 RAE. The average proportion of the outputs sub-profile judged to be worldleading (4*) has risen from 14 per cent in RAE 2008 to 22 per cent in REF 2014. The average proportion judged to be internationally excellent (3*) has risen from 37 per cent to 50 per cent. These increases are consistent with independent evidence about the improved performance of UK research in international comparative terms. International members of the four REF main panels confirmed that the REF results reflect the international standing of UK research. 21. The 2014 REF has found that a high proportion of submitted staff are working in environments that are conducive to producing research of world-leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*) quality. 16. Excellence was found across all types and forms of research including applied, basic, practice-based and strategic research; and in all forms of research endeavour including collaborative, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. Where institutions identified their outputs as interdisciplinary, analysis of the results shows that these were judged by the REF expert panels to be of equal quality to other outputs. 17. The assessment took account of equality and diversity in research careers. A substantially higher proportion of early career researchers and staff with individual circumstances (such as maternity leave or part-time working) were submitted than in the 2008 RAE. Analysis of the results shows that outputs produced by these staff were judged to be of equally high quality to outputs produced by other staff. Impact 18. For the first time, the assessment provides evidence of the impact of UK research. The REF has found that a wide range of outstanding (4*) and very considerable (3*) impacts have arisen from research in every UOA. These include diverse impacts on the economy, society, culture, public policy and services, health, the environment and quality of life, within the UK and internationally. 19. The impacts demonstrated through the REF reflect HEIs’ productive engagements with a very wide range of public, private and third sector organisations, and engagement directly with the public. Research has contributed to outstanding impacts through numerous pathways, including intended and unanticipated routes. 20. As the impact element is new in the research assessment process, this sub-profile is not comparable with the RAE results. 4 REF 01.2014 22. For the period 2008-09 to 2012-13, a total research income (and income-in-kind) of £24.1 billion was reported in submissions. Research income was from a range of sources including 38 per cent from the UK Research Councils, 19 per cent from UK government bodies, 19 per cent from UK charities, 6 per cent from UK industry and 9 per cent from EU government bodies. Submissions reported that a total of 95,184 research doctoral degrees were awarded over the period 2008-09 to 2012-13. 23. The expert panels found that the quality of research environments has improved since the 2008 RAE, although the environment sub-profiles are not directly comparable between the two exercises as the criteria and structure of this part of the assessment have changed. Distribution of excellence 24. The 2014 REF has found research excellence in many diverse institutions across the UK. Through the assessment of each element (outputs, impact and environment) differential levels of excellence have been found across institutions. In terms of the overall quality profiles achieved by the 154 submitting institutions: • Three-quarters of the institutions had at least 49 per cent of their submitted activity graded as internationally excellent (3*) or above. • One-quarter had at least 79 per cent of their submitted activity graded as internationally excellent (3*) or above. • Three-quarters had at least 10 per cent of their submitted activity graded as world-leading (4*). • One-quarter had at least 30 per cent of their submitted activity graded as world-leading (4*). 25. Excellence was also found in a wide range of individual submissions of all sizes. In terms of the overall quality profiles awarded to the 1,911 submissions: • Three-quarters of all submissions achieved at least 54 per cent internationally excellent (3*) quality or above. • One-quarter achieved at least 83 per cent internationally excellent (3*) quality or above. • Three-quarters achieved at least 10 per cent world-leading (4*) quality. • One-quarter achieved at least 34 per cent worldleading (4*) quality. Overview of the assessment 2011-2012 Preparation 2012-2013 Submissions 2014 Assessment The UK funding bodies appointed the REF expert panels, based on nominations from academic and other organisations. Each institution decided which UOAs to submit in, and prepared their submissions. Expert panels reviewed the submissions and the results were published on 18 December 2014. The funding bodies and REF panels consulted with the sector and published detailed criteria and guidelines for the exercise. Submissions were made by the deadline of 29 November 2013. Submissions and criteria for assessment 26. During 2013, institutions made submissions in the 36 UOAs, which between them cover all research disciplines. The UOAs are listed in Annex B. Each submission contained a standard set of information in relation to outputs, impact and environment. 27. An expert sub-panel assessed the submissions made in each UOA, according to a standard set of criteria. A brief description is provided below of each element of the assessment (outputs, impact and environment). For further details including the complete definitions and criteria, see the following REF publications: • ‘Assessment framework and guidance on submissions’ (REF 02.2011) • ‘Panel criteria and working methods’ (REF 01.2012). Staff, equality and diversity 28. Each institution selected staff for inclusion in its submissions. To be eligible for inclusion, Category A staff must have been employed by the submitting institution on the census date of 31 October 2013, to undertake ‘research only’ or ‘teaching and research’4. 30. To support equality and diversity in submissions, each institution applied a code of practice on the fair and transparent selection of staff, and conducted an equality impact assessment of its REF selection processes. 31. Allowances were made for early career researchers and staff with other circumstances (such as maternity leave or part-time working) to be submitted with fewer than four outputs. Institutions submitted 28 per cent of staff (by headcount) with such circumstances, compared with 13 per cent of staff submitted in the 2008 RAE with fewer than four outputs. Analysis of the REF results shows that outputs produced by these staff were judged to be of equally high quality to outputs produced by other staff. 32. An Equality and Diversity Advisory Panel (EDAP) assisted the REF team and the REF panels in implementing the equality and diversity aspects of the REF. EDAP’s report is available at www.ref.ac.uk under ‘Publications’ (from January 2015). 29. The REF results indicate the number of FTE staff included in each submission. The Higher Education Statistics Agency has published contextual data about the number of staff identified as eligible to be submitted by each institution (see www.hesa.ac.uk/ ref2014). 4 A small number of Category C staff were also submitted. These are staff employed by a different organisation to carry out research in the submitting institution. Category C staff are not included in the numbers of FTE staff provided in this document. REF 01.2014 5 Outputs (65 per cent) Definition for the REF ‘Outputs’ are the product of any form of research, published between January 2008 and December 2013. They include publications such as journal articles, monographs and chapters in books, as well as outputs disseminated in other ways such as designs, performances and exhibitions. Information provided Institutions submitted up to four outputs for each member of staff they selected for inclusion in their submissions. in submissions Submissions could request that an output of extended scale and scope be ‘doubleweighted’ by the sub-panel (that is, counted as two outputs in the assessment). Assessment criteria The panels assessed the quality of outputs against the criteria of ‘originality, significance and rigour’. The assessment was based on peer review of the outputs. Some sub-panels considered the number of times the output had been cited, as contextual information to support peer review. Impact (20 per cent) Definition for the REF ‘Impact’ is any effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life, beyond academia. Information provided Each submission included: in submissions Impact case studies. These four-page documents described impacts that had occurred between January 2008 and July 2013. The submitting institution must have produced high quality research since 1993 that contributed to the impacts. Each submission included one case study, plus an additional case study for every 10 FTE staff. An impact template. This document explained how the submitted unit had enabled impact from its research during the period from 2008 to 2013, and its future strategy for impact. Assessment criteria Impact case studies were assessed in terms of the ‘reach and significance’ of the impacts. Impact templates were assessed in terms of how far the approach and strategy are conducive to achieving impacts. Environment (15 per cent) Definition for the REF ‘Environment’ refers to the strategy, resources and infrastructure that support research activity in the submitted unit and contribute more widely to the discipline. Information provided Each submission included: in submissions n environment template. This document describes the submitted unit’s A research strategy; its support for research staff and students; its research income, infrastructure and facilities; and its research collaborations and wider contributions to the discipline. Statistical data. Institutions provided data on the amount of research income they received each academic year (from 2008-09 to 2012-13) from different types of sources, and on the number of research doctoral degrees awarded in each of these years. These were based on data that institutions report annually to the Higher Education Statistics Agency. Assessment criteria The research environment was assessed in terms of its ‘vitality and sustainability’. 6 REF 01.2014 Audit and data verification 33. The accuracy of information provided in submissions was checked and verified. A sample of staff submitted by every institution was audited for eligibility. A selection of impact case studies within each UOA were audited, including by consulting third-party sources to corroborate the claimed impacts. Submissions were compared with other available datasets, including bibliographic resources, data held by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, and information held by the Research Councils. Apparent discrepancies were investigated. 34. Panels also drew attention to any areas of concern in submissions, and such concerns were investigated. Where necessary, submissions were amended and panels were supplied with the corrected information5. 38. The sub-panels reviewed submissions according to the following common principles and practices: • Each part of each submission was reviewed by panel members and/or assessors with appropriate expertise. • Users of research on the sub-panels had a full and equal role in assessing the impact element of submissions, jointly with academic members. • Where the sub-panel did not contain sufficient expertise to review an output, it was crossreferred to an appropriate sub-panel for advice. In total, 5,248 outputs were cross-referred between sub-panels. • Where an output was published in a language that the sub-panel was unable to assess, it was referred to a specialist adviser with appropriate expertise. • All the information in each submission was examined in sufficient detail to contribute to the formation of robust sub-profiles for the submission. • Judgements were made solely on the basis of the information submitted by institutions (and responses to audit queries), and in accordance with the published criteria. • Consistency in standards of assessment was assured within and between sub-panels through a range of mechanisms. These included initial calibration exercises, main panel member attendance at sub-panel meetings, and keeping under review the standards being applied within each sub-panel and each main panel. • Each sub-panel recommended the sub-profiles (for outputs, impact and environment) and the overall quality profiles to the main panel on the basis of its collective judgement. • No individual played any role in the assessment of any submission in which they had a major conflict of interest, including submissions from any institution(s) they had been employed by since the start of the REF period. Expert panels and the assessment process 35. The 36 expert sub-panels assessed the submissions under the guidance of the four main panels. The panels were appointed by the funding bodies, based on nominations from academic and other organisations. The composition of panels and number of people involved was as follows6. 4 main panels 4 main panel chairs 23 international members 17 user members 36 sub-panel chairs 36 sub-panels 1,052 members and assessors (77% academic and 23% users) 25 specialist advisers 36. Each sub-panel assessed each submission in its UOA, and produced a sub-profile for each element of the submission (outputs, impact and environment), using a scale from 4* to ‘unclassified’. Annex A sets out the criteria and definitions of the starred levels for each sub-profile, and for the overall quality profile. 37. The four main panels oversaw the assessment, ensuring the criteria and standards were consistently applied. They were responsible for signing off the results recommended by the sub-panels. Each main panel included international members to provide assurance about the international benchmarking of standards. 39. The criteria and working methods of the expert panels are set out in more detail in ‘Panel criteria and working methods’ (REF 01.2012). At the end of the assessment, each main panel and its sub-panels also provided an overview report setting out how they carried out the assessment and commenting on the state of research in their discipline areas (available at www.ref.ac.uk under ‘Publications’ from January 2015). 5 Further details about the audit and data verification procedures will be available in the REF manager’s report (available at www.ref.ac.uk under ‘Publications’ from February 2015). 6 The full panel membership is available at www.ref.ac.uk under ‘Expert panels’. REF 01.2014 7 Results: the overall quality profiles for each unit of assessment 40. The primary result for each submission is an ‘overall quality profile’. This shows the proportion of the submission judged to meet each starred level, as defined in Annex A. 41. The results on pages 9-59 show the overall quality profile awarded to each submission in each UOA. They also indicate the number of Category A FTE staff included in each submission. Within each UOA, the submitting institutions are listed in alphabetical order, by country (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). 42. The proportions at each starred level, as shown in the overall quality profiles, are rounded to the nearest 1 per cent. The rounding method is set out in Annex B of ‘Assessment framework and guidance on submissions’ (REF 02.2011). Multiple and joint submissions 43. Each institution submitting in a particular UOA normally made one submission in that UOA. In some cases, by prior agreement with the REF manager, an institution made multiple (two or more) submissions in a single UOA and these are listed separately in the results. 44. Some submissions were made jointly by two or more institutions. In these cases, the submission was assessed as a single entity by the expert panels, and a single overall quality profile was awarded. Within the results, each institution contributing to a joint submission is listed separately, indicating their respective number of Category A staff FTE. Sub-profiles 45. The overall quality profile awarded to each submission is derived from a sub-profile that the expert panels awarded to each of the three elements of the assessment: outputs (65 per cent), impact (20 per cent) and environment (15 per cent). The method for combining the sub-profiles to produce the overall quality profile is set out in Annex B of ‘Assessment framework and guidance on submissions’ (REF 02.2011). 46. This document provides only the overall quality profile awarded to each submission. The sub-profiles for outputs, impact and environment, from which the overall quality profiles are derived, are available at www.ref.ac.uk under ‘Results & submissions’. 8 REF 01.2014 UOA average profiles 47. Annex B provides, for each UOA, the average overall quality profile of all submissions made in that UOA. To calculate these averages, the results for each submission are weighted according to the number of FTE staff in the submission. 2014 Research Excellence Framework UOA 1: Clinical Medicine Number of

level definitions 1. This annex sets out the generic criteria used for assessing submissions and the definitions of the starred levels in the overall quality profiles and each of the sub-profiles (for outputs, impact and environment). 2. Sub-panels used their professional judgement to form the overall quality profile to be awarded to each submission, taking into account all the evidence presented. The primary outcome of the assessment was to award an overall quality profile to each submission, showing the proportion of the submission that met each starred level in the profile. 3. The definitions of the starred levels in the overall quality profile are below. Table A1: Overall quality profile: Definitions of starred levels Four star (4*) Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Three star (3*)Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of excellence. Two star (2*) Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. One star (1*) Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Unclassified (U/C)Quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work. Or work which does not meet the published definition of research for the purposes of this assessment. 4. For each of the three elements of the assessment – outputs, impact and environment – sub-panels developed a sub-profile, showing the proportion of the submission that met each of four starred quality levels. The assessment criteria and the definitions of the starred levels for the sub-profiles are set out below. Table A2: Outputs sub-profile: Criteria and definitions of starred levels The criteria for assessing the quality of outputs are ‘originality, significance and rigour’. Four star (4*) Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Three star (3*)Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of excellence. Two star (2*) Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. One star (1*) Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Unclassified (U/C)Quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work. Or work which does not meet the published definition of research for the purposes of this assessment. 60 REF 01.2014 Table A3: Impact sub-profile: Criteria and definitions of starred levels The criteria for assessing impacts were ‘reach and significance’: • In assessing the impact described within a case study, the panel formed an overall view about its ‘reach and significance’ taken as a whole, rather than assessing ’reach and significance‘ separately. • In assessing the impact template (REF3a) the panel considered the extent to which the unit’s approach described in the template was conducive to achieving impacts of ‘reach and significance’. Four star (4*) Outstanding impacts in terms of their reach and significance. Three star (3*) Very considerable impacts in terms of their reach and significance. Two star (2*) Considerable impacts in terms of their reach and significance. One star (1*) Recognised but modest impacts in terms of their reach and significance. Unclassified (U/C)The impact is of little or no reach and significance; or the impact was not eligible; or the impact was not underpinned by excellent research produced by the submitted unit. Table A4: Environment sub-profile: Criteria and definitions of starred levels The research environment was assessed in terms of its ‘vitality and sustainability’. Panels considered both the ‘vitality and sustainability’ of the submitted unit, and its contribution to the ‘vitality and sustainability’ of the wider research base. Four star (4*)An environment that is conducive to producing research of world-leading quality, in terms of its vitality and sustainability. Three star (3*)An environment that is conducive to producing research of internationally excellent quality, in terms of its vitality and sustainability. Two star (2*)An environment that is conducive to producing research of internationally recognised quality, in terms of its vitality and sustainability. One star (1*)An environment that is conducive to producing research of nationally recognised quality, in terms of its vitality and sustainability. Unclassified (U/C)An environment that is not conducive to producing research of nationally recognised quality. 5. The four main panels explained in more detail, within their statements on the panel criteria and working methods, how their group of sub-panels would apply the assessment criteria and interpret the level definitions in developing the sub-profiles. Notes on the criteria and definitions of the starred levels 6. ‘World-leading’ quality denotes an absolute standard of quality in each unit of assessment. 7. ‘World leading’, ‘internationally’ and ‘nationally’ in this context refer to quality standards. They do not refer to the nature or geographical scope of particular subjects, nor to the locus of research nor its place of dissemination. For example, research which is focused within one part of the UK might be of ‘world leading’ standard. Equally, work with an international focus might not be of ‘world leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised’ standard. 8. The criterion of ‘reach’ for impacts does not refer specifically to a geographic scale. Sub-panels considered a number of dimensions to the ‘reach’ of impacts as appropriate to the nature of the research and its impacts. For example, an impact located within one region of the UK might be judged as ‘outstanding’ (graded as four star). Equally, an impact with international reach might not be judged as ‘outstanding’, ‘very considerable’ or ‘considerable’.
