Assessment was by means of informed peer review by a number of specialist panels, drawing on information provided by HEIs. (UK Research Assessment Exercise 1992)

The Quality Evaluation process rests on the submission and evaluation of Evidence Portfolios (EPs). Specialist peer-review panels, assess and evaluate EPs. (NZ Performance Based Research Fund)

ERA uses a number of bibliometric tools for the citation analysis indicators. Two broad types of citation analysis are used in ERA: Relative Citation Impact (RCI) and the distribution of publications based on comparisons with field-specific benchmarks.

REF will assess universities on the basis of the quality of research outputs, the vitality of the research environment and the wider impact of research.

Our research influence indicator is the flagship. Weighted at 30 per cent of the overall score, it is the single most influential of the 13 indicators.

We examine research influence by capturing the number of times a university's published work is cited by scholars globally.

THE LIBRARIAN

Page 64: The big picture: reputation, rankings, assessment, and the role of libraries

The role of librariansCurrent state

Many libraries retain large numbers of librarians to catalogue and count

Even more librarians wait at service desks ‘just in case’

Few librarians leave the library building

Future state

Librarians embedded in research and teaching activities

Librarians become campus specialists in areas such as e-science, academic technology and research evaluation

Librarians have meaningful impact

Current barriersMany librarians lack skills and useful qualificationsMany librarians are resistant to changeAcademics do not believe librarians are useful or credible partners
