Research Excellence Framework results Summary Report 18.12.14 The REF results have been published, and it is evident that Glyndwr University’s strategy has been successful. The results demonstrate that: 1. While the number of staff included in the University’s REF submissions has been increased since RAE 2008 (by 34%), almost all submitted research outputs achieved 1* or better 2. All four of the submissions include research judged to be world leading (4*) 3. Emerging research areas (Psychology, Communication, Culture & Media) show diversity in their achievements, but also include world leading and internationally excellent research 4. While the proportion of ‘world leading’ research appears to have gone down since 2008 (in the areas in which comparison is possible), the number of world leading research outputs is similar (the overall number of outputs submitted has been doubled) 5. All of the ‘impact case studies’ submitted have been judged to demonstrate real impact arising from research undertaken at Glyndwr, and with all or some of that research being judged to be internationally recognised (and internationally significant, in some cases) REF 2014 Quality Profiles * Unit of assessment FTE Staff submitted Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience 9.4 4* 3* 2* 1* unclassified Outputs 2.1% 10.7% 57.4% 29.8% 0% Impact 0% 20% 0% 80% 0% Environment 0% 12.5% 75% 12.5% 0% Overall 1% 13% 49% 37% 0% 38% 40% 19% 2% 1% Outputs Impact Environment Overall 7.1% 0% 0% 5% 26% 25% 0% 0% 16% 44% 60.8% 20% 90% 57% 24% 7.1% 80% 10% 22% 5% 0% 0% 0% 0% 1% Outputs Impact Environment Overall 3.1% 0% 0% 2% 25% 66.1% 80% 0% 59% 62% 26.2% 20% 85% 34% 11% 3.1% 0% 15% 4% 2% 1.5% 0% 0% 1% 0% National Comparative Data Computer Science and Informatics 6.4 National Comparative Data Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials 13.9 National Comparative Data Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library and Information Management 4.2 National Comparative Data Outputs 11.8% 23.5% 17.6% 41.2% 5.9% Impact Environment 0% 0% 0% 0% 70% 70% 30% 20% 0% 10% Overall 8% 29% 15% 38% 28% 24% 44% 8% 5% 1% * Definitions of starred levels Four star Three star Two star One star Unclassified Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of excellence. Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. 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. There are specific (but similar) definitions for ‘outputs’, ‘impact’ and ‘environment’
