Article Abstract:
The research assessment exercise (RAE) to evaluate research quality involves the subject-based peer reviews and judgments of scientific research of a university department. But the metrics-based system expected to replace the RAE in 2008 will be based on quantitative indicators including research grant income and an inadequate and ineffective bibliometric indicator of quality, which involves citation reports of scientific work.
