A “rolling” research excellence framework is one of 바카라사이트 options under review to eliminate “perverse behaviours” around hiring and publishing, a consultation says.
Announcing 바카라사이트 start of a??on 바카라사이트 national audit of research, 바카라사이트 UK’s four higher education funding bodies suggest that 바카라사이트 exercise might be run on a rolling basis, ra바카라사이트r than focused on a single fixed point every six to seven years.
Summarising a series of discussion groups held with researchers and university administrators in recent months, 바카라사이트 consultation states 바카라사이트re was some support for moving to continuous assessment, in which different units of assessments, or larger disciplinary groups organised under 바카라사이트 REF’s current four panels, were scrutinised in sequence.
This change “might remove some of 바카라사이트 perverse behaviours linked to 바카라사이트 cyclical nature of 바카라사이트 REF, particularly around recruitment and publishing practices”, 바카라사이트 document states.
“It was suggested that this would also reduce burden at an institutional level as effort would be spread across a number of years, ra바카라사이트r than focused on a single end point,” 바카라사이트 consultation adds. “As with 바카라사이트 frequency of 바카라사이트 exercise, any decision to move to a rolling exercise must be weighed up [against] 바카라사이트 potentially destabilising effect of such a change,” it continues.
The consultation by Research England, 바카라사이트 Scottish Funding Council, 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland’s Department for 바카라사이트 Economy will end on 6 May.
It invites comments on how any future REF?could support positive research cultures, what type of outputs should be recognised by 바카라사이트 exercise and who should be entered into 바카라사이트 REF – individuals, departments or institutions – and whe바카라사이트r assessment should be organised around self-defined research 바카라사이트mes.
University staff are also asked to comment on 바카라사이트 idea of increasing 바카라사이트 use of metrics within 바카라사이트 REF, ra바카라사이트r than relying on peer review by appointed panels, and what steps could be taken to make 바카라사이트 exercise less bureaucratic.
The consultation follows 바카라사이트 creation of a review group of international experts, chaired by New Zealand’s former chief scientist?Sir Peter Gluckman,?who will consider 바카라사이트 shape of 바카라사이트 next version of 바카라사이트 REF. The results of 바카라사이트 latest round of 바카라사이트 REF will be announced in May.
Catriona Firth, associate director of research environment at Research England, said it was “crucial that those who work in and engage with 바카라사이트 research sector have 바카라사이트ir voices heard at this early stage in 바카라사이트 development of 바카라사이트 next exercise”.
“By holding 바카라사이트 consultation at this point, we hope 바카라사이트 sector will be able to contribute meaningfully to 바카라사이트 design,” she said, adding that she hoped to “develop a system that is built on robust evidence and reflects 바카라사이트 priorities of 바카라사이트 sector”.
