Article Abstract:

Universities in the United Kingdom need to realise that there are strings attached to the Government's promised increases in funding for scientific research. The Government has stated that it wants the universities to close the existing gap between themselves and universities in the US. The issue that the universities need to be concerned about is how it is decided whether or not these gaps are being closed.
