手边厚厚一本2008年的英国最学术权威的RAE排名已经翻的很烂了,从2013年的时候就常常会想着问着一般四五年出一次的权威排名怎么还没有出来。帮学生选校和专业的时候除了常见的TIMES,QS,The Guardian的排名,都会让他们再看看RAE。为什么说RAE是权威官方的学术排名呢。因为一般商业的报纸比如泰晤士报的排名会以学生满意度(15%)、生师比(10%)、生均经费(10%)、设施和设备(10%)、优秀学位获得率(10%)、毕业率(10%)等指标来衡量。那么RAE(Research Assessment Exercise) 评分在学校经费、研究水平、顶尖学者数量上的影响至关重要。星级越高,这个领域里聚集的顶尖科学家和教授的数量也越多,教学和科研也不言而喻了。
一直到2014年12月18号,英国官方发布了研究卓越框架(Research Excellence Framework,简称REF)结果,其取代了科研水平评估(RAE)。以下是几个考量因素:质量指数,实力比例以及市场占有。都是从学校投入的科研经费方面来看的。
Research Fortnight weighted the figures by staff numbers and then created the following metrics:
Quality Index: a weighting of the university’s score based on the expected funding allocation (75% to 4* research and 25% to 3*)
Power rating: how the university’s Quality Index score relates to the top performing university – in this case Oxford
Market share: how much Research Fortnight predicts the university will get of the overall available funding next year based on its results
