[REF 2029 @ref2029]

We have been asked to provide clarity on the REF2029 position on trade books. We confirm that trade books are out of scope in the REF2029 Open Access Policy and are therefore not subject to open access requirements. The consultation and website are updated https://t.co/Qw3QrvRjp9

From @Wonkhe It’s time to talk about research culture and the REF

Noting: Issues have been raised not covered in the formal consultation. Amongst these are concerns about Environment element, and the balance of its weighting compared to outputs #REF2028

.@LizzieGadd discusses @CoARAssessment, notes that #REF2028 moves towards more responsible research assessment, & cautions that good intentions can lead to unintended consequences, so it is important to listen to community feedback

[Grace Gottlieb @Grace_Gottlieb]

When it comes to measuring research culture, @stevenhill @ResEngland says it is important to reflect on the fact that change, & the direction of change, is probably more important than overall performance on research culture, or at least needs to be considered alongside #REF2028
