Event Type

This is an open invitation to anyone in BTE involved in developing research outputs, whether you’re working on your first or your twenty-first article! The session will be especially useful for those at an earlier stage in their research trajectories (e.g., SRP/new SRR folks). This one-hour session focuses on maximising quality outputs through effective signposting. Writing and communication skills are vitally important to producing high-quality research; effective signposting can make the difference between a 2* and 3* output (in REF terms). The session is not disciplinary specific: effective quality signalling transcends Units of Assessment! The session will:

  • Give a brief introduction to the REF review process and quality rankings
  • Outline the REF quality criteria: Originality, Significance, Rigour (OSR)
  • Give some examples of good practice for signalling OSR in outputs
  • Provide time for Q&A with RIKE leaders from both social science and STEM UoAs

This session will be recorded, and will be repeated in the future.

This event is for colleagues in the College of Business, Technology and Engineering (BTE) and has been shared via the BTE Calendar.
