“As well as being critical for the REF submission, the vision behind the implementation of UCARIS using EPrints is that there should be “one input, many outputs”, thus reducing the burden on researchers, academics and administrators in producing publications lists and data reports for many different purposes.” (Silva: 2010) Step one – the vision
Survey of commercial and open source applications Scoping analysis Working with integrating LDAP and UCA Research Online Phase 1, Sept. 2010 – July 2011
Setting up of ePrints REF plugin Pilot HR testing Integration with UCA systems Phase 2, Aug. 2011 – July 2012
Development for finalised reporting for REF submission Demonstration to Research Office staff Submission of completed outputs to REF Phase 3, Aug. 2012 – July 2013
A system in place to support submissions to REF Increased internal and external visibility of research Efficiency UCARIS - impact and benefit
Communication between departments has improved Key to success is the involvement of stakeholders Submission for future HEFCE research assessment exercises Lessons learned and the future
RAE 2008REF 2014 manual data input some manual data input time consuming streamlined mainly paper based mainly electronic RAE 2008 and REF 2014
