Here's my list of 4* impact case studies from the new #REF2021 impact database. There are 246 of them so it's a very small (4%) sample of all the 6,781 impact case studies BUT this may be a useful way in to explore the rest of the database.https://t.co/4FB9GiZS9y

UKRI policy on use of generative AI. TL;DR (1) for applicants, no issues with use of generative AI as long as it doesn't amount to research misconduct (which goes for any applicant/application anyway!) and no need to cite (2) for assessors - DO NOT USE!!!
