The Research Excellence Framework (REF) follows a set of submission rules.

The number of impact case…

In terms of scale, shock, and disenfranchisement, the disruption to formal education arising from COVID-19 has been unprecedented. Anecdotally, responses from teachers and educators around the world range from heightened caution to being inspired by distance education as the "new normal." Of all the challenges, face-to-face and formal…

O'Connell, Catherine – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
This article examines responses to a new impact indicator introduced to the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF).

The study…
