"Metascience sandpit: scientometrics for research assessment"
Looks like UKRI are leaning into the WORST possible vision for meta-science as some kind of scientific bean counting.
Here with the awful intention of using AI to judge research quality in #REF2029

“The existence and extent of the new institutional weighting leaves open the possibility for distortions in Unit ranking to the benefit, generally speaking, of larger, research intensive units.”

Unit Reductions (as delinked) - further details will be available later in the year (unforeseen and out of HEI's control, sig impact and evidence based - i.e. disaster, but could include compounded equalities issues but unforeseen?)
It's now less than three years until the #REF2029 deadline, so time to identify and develop the strongest impact case studies for your UoA. Daunting? We take the pain out of it. For info email kristine.pommert(at)http://bulletin.co.uk or browse www.bulletinac.co.uk/what-we-offe...
This kind of game-playing assumes everyone else is playing a game! Just be honest, and put your academics into the REF and let your dept stand on its feet. There needs to be some kind of rule against this kind of thing. Surely? #REF2029
