REF 2029

Introduction

The REF2029 plugin for EPrints is a re-implementation of the previous REF2014 and REF Support plugins to help simplify and streamline the REF selection process for REF 2029.

Benchmarks

Before any REF selections can be made, a REF Benchmark needs to be created. This can be achieved using the REF 2029 screen.

Units of Assessment Champions

Only users who are assigned as a REF Unit of Assessment (UoA) champion are able to select EPrints records for a UoA.

Users can be assigned as a UoA champion in their user profiles.

Benchmarks may be active or inactive. When a REF Selection is made, it is added to the current benchmark.

For Developers

UoA Champions

The user workflow needs updating to allow users to be selected as UoA Champions.
