Guide to performance indicators in higher education

Research outputs

The main indicators of research in UK higher education are the ratings from the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), which is held every four or five years. The results of the 2001 RAE were published in December 2001. The research indicators that are produced as part of the performance indicators (Table R1) provide additional information on the quantity of research outputs relative to the resources consumed.

'Performance indicators in higher education in the UK' is available on the HEFCE web-site at www.hefce.ac.uk/pi
