This is a brief guide on the implications for your research outputs and how Research Support IS can help you ensure that your research is eligible for inclusion in REF2021.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Headline changes for academic staff<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The average number of submitted outputs will be 2.5 per FTE, with a minimum of one and a maximum of five publications for each staff member submitted.<\/li>\n
  2. ORCIDs are \u201cstrongly encouraged\u201d and will likely be a requirement for future exercises. Find out how to register for an ORCID here<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. HEFCE are implementing a transitional approach to portability. Both the institution employing the staff member on the census date\u201431 July 2020\u2014and the originating institution, where the staff member was previously employed when the output was demonstrably generated<\/em>, may submit the output.\n
      \n
    1. \u2018demonstrably generated\u2019 will be determined by the date when the output was first made publicly available<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. As anticipated, journal articles and conference items are \u201cto be deposited in an academic repository \u201cas soon after the point of acceptance as possible, and no later than three months after this date\u201d<\/strong>, from 1 April 2018.
      \nIf there are barriers to meeting this requirement prior to publication it is vital that your paper is up as soon as possible after publication – please       get in touch with the research support team<\/a> to discuss as early as possible.\u00a0 <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
