2 RQF outcomes in sciences Thomson Scientific’s data UK research assessment exercise Method UK data Results Conclusion

3 Thomson ISI Thomson Corporation founded in 1934 US$8.7 billion in law, education, finance and science ISI founded by Eugene Garfield in 1954 ISI indexes, abstracts and counts citations Thomson acquired ISI in 1992

4 Thomson’s web of knowledge Journal Citation Reports Highly cited authors Current contents connect Web of science

5 Thomson Scientific’s web of science Indexes of 8,700 journals in science, social science, and arts and humanities It is selective: 10% - 12% of all refereed journals ISI indexed 50% of publications reported to Dest in maths and economics in 1991, < 10% in arts and law

6 ISI’s coverage of the 2001 RAE Unit% articles% articles ISI% ISI Biology Physics Mech eng Sociology Politics Law

7 Research Assessment Exercise In 1986, 1989, 1992, 1996, 2001 and units of assessment Each researcher submits best 4 outputs Rated: 5*, 5, 4, 3a, 3b, 2, 1

8 Method Extract publication counts from Thomson Scientific Map Thomson’s ‘subject category’ to ABS’ RFCD Selected UK universities for comparison

17 Australian results by institution Go8 have most disciplines with high and very high volumes of articles indexed by Thomson Scientific Most newer universities have low or very low volumes of articles indexed by Thomson Scientific Newcastle and Macquarie do better than expected U of Melbourne engineering worse than expected

18 Australian results by discipline Chemistry, maths and physics dominated by go8 Psych and computing stronger in newer universities Environmental sciences stronger in Australia than in the UK

19 Conclusions Go8 likely to do well in RQF Newer universities not likely to get much from RQF Strong correlation between citations and RAE ratings in experimental disciplines But difficult to predict how universities construct their units of assessment/groupings
