For SHU this is specifically part of their #REF28 strategy, building up awareness and readership of research for which they hope to develop good real-world impact. We're so proud to be a part of it 😊 @GrowKudos

A great example of guidance developed from rigorous social science research and vital to turn research into impact. Let's hope Universities (and REF28) gives fair recognition to the skills and time required to do this properly ....

As I wrote last year: "#REF is a tool to maintain systemic racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, classism in the academy."
I'm not the first & won't be the last to call out the ways that #REF contributes to worsening inequalities in #HigherEd

Female academics “less likely” to be chosen for REF 2021: ethnicity and disability status also significant factors influencing likelihood of researchers being submitted, report finds. @jgro_the reports

Timely and necessary #REF28 emphasis shift from outputs to people, culture and environment, with EDI centred.
However, it is imperative that robust measures of class background are in HE data so that one of the most influential EDI characteristics is not ignored (again).

More make-work bureaucracy coming with REF28! Really not sure what the last clause of this long quoted sentence is meant to mean - @claraerouk you'll enjoy digging into this!

Assessment of publications reduced from 60% to 50% of weighting to make more room for "People & Culture" & "Engagement & Impact". And 10% of that 50% must be devoted to "structured statement" of BS👇. (Quoting from linked THE piece by @jgro_the)

Engagement and Impact (25% weigh) replaces the impact elements of REF21. Submissions will consist of both impact case studies and accompanying statement, taken from the disciplinary-level statement, to evidence engagement beyond case studies #REF28
