RAE 2008: only the very best need apply
Article Abstract:
Universities plan to submit only internationally recognised staff to the 2008 RAE, in a move which will exclude the majority of academics from the race for grants and ratings. Vice-chancellors believe the funding allocated every year on the back of the 2008 RAE will be more skewed to a small research elite, thus forcing institutions to make tactical decisions on whether to maximiser ratings or income.
