REF2 Properties dashboard

This dashboard provides details of REF2 properties, and is separated into three tabs:

  • REF2 Open Access

  • REF2 publication properties

  • REF2 properties

New version released 14 January 2021 (and in 28 Jan patches)

We have fixed a bug where the attribution counts for REF2 outputs in the 'REF2 Open Access' tab were over-stated when there was a one:many mapping of Elements publication type to REF2 Output type (e.g. if Book was mapped to both A-Authored book and B-Edited book, a REF2 book would be counted as two attributions).

To apply this new version manually:

  • First disable the existing 'REF2 Properties' dashboard in the Manage Dashboards screen

  • Then create and enable a new dashboard, uploading the new definition file(XML)

    • The following properties are suggested:

      • Display name

        • REF2 Properties

      • Description

        • Provides a summary of REF2 properties of attributed REF2 Outputs, including double-weighting, pending, reserves, cross-referrals, interdisciplinary, double-attributions, etc. Also includes a profile of the REF Open Access status, highlighting where the threshold for non-compliance has been met (or not).  Updated version released 14 January 2021.

REF2 Open Access tab

This tab provides three separate REF2 Open Access profiles, designed to help you ensure that you do not exceed the 5% 'Not compliant' threshold in your submission:

  • Attributed REF2s

  • Attributed + Accepted REF2s

  • Accepted REF2s

Each profile provides the number and proportion of REF2s with each REF2 Open Access status (as captured on the REF2 form).

Notes:

  • These tables only capture D-Journal articles and E-Conference contributions

  • Proportion calculations exclude 'Out of scope' outputs

  • Where the number of 'Not compliant' outputs exceeds 5% of the submission, this is highlighted in RED (note that as the 5% tolerance in the submission itself is calculated by rounding to the nearest whole output number, we do not do any such rounding in this dashboard and simply flag up any value exceeding 5%)

  • Reserves are excluded

  • Outputs to be input directly into the REF submission system are not included

  • REF2 outputs are counted as described here

  • Attributed REF2 counts include any outputs attributed to REF1 Researchers NOT included in the submission.  It is recommended that any such attributions are removed to ensure accurate calculations.

REF2 publication properties tab

REF2 Output Type

This table and chart show the number and proportion of REF2 attributions of each REF2 Output type (as captured on the REF2 form).

Notes:

  • Where there are any attributed outputs where the REF2 Output type is not set, these are highlighted in RED

  • Reserves are excluded

  • Outputs to be input directly into the REF submission system are not included (and this includes when calculating the proportions)

  • REF2 outputs are counted as described here

  • Attributed REF2 counts include any outputs attributed to REF1 Researchers NOT included in the submission.  It is recommended that any such attributions are removed to ensure accurate calculations.

REF2 Publication Year

This table and chart show the number and proportion of REF2 attributions published in each year (as captured on the REF2 form).

Notes:

  • Where there are any attributed outputs where the Publication year is as follows, these are highlighted in RED:

    • ≤ 2013

    • ≥ 2021

    • No publication date

  • Reserves are excluded

  • Outputs to be input directly into the REF submission system are not included (and this includes when calculating the proportions)

  • REF2 outputs are counted as described here

  • Attributed REF2 counts include any outputs attributed to REF1 Researchers NOT included in the submission.  It is recommended that any such attributions are removed to ensure accurate calculations.


REF2 properties tab

REF2 Properties

This table and chart show the number and proportion of REF2 attributions with various REF2 properties (as captured on the REF2 form).

Notes:

  • As each property is not exclusive, it is possible for a single output to have a number of the listed properties.  

  • Reserves are excluded 

  • Outputs to be input directly into the REF submission system are not included (and this includes when calculating the proportions)

  • REF2 outputs are counted as described here

  • Attributed REF2 counts include any outputs attributed to REF1 Researchers NOT included in the submission.  It is recommended that any such attributions are removed to ensure accurate calculations.

Multiple author attribution

This table and chart show the number and proportion of REF2 attributions that are attributed to two REF1 Researchers (as captured on the REF2 form).

Notes:

  • In Panel D, where the number of single-weighted double-attributions is greater than 5% of the submission, this is highlighted in RED

  • Reserves are excluded

  • Outputs to be input directly into the REF submission system are not included (and this includes when calculating the proportions)

  • REF2 outputs are counted as described here

  • Attributed REF2 counts include any outputs attributed to REF1 Researchers NOT included in the submission.  It is recommended that any such attributions are removed to ensure accurate calculations.
