More about the book
The book critiques the Research Excellence Framework (REF), arguing that it fails to meet the standards of genuine scholarly peer review. Through a detailed examination of university and national REF processes compared to established practices in academic publishing and tenure in North America, the author presents a compelling analysis of the REF's legitimacy. This raises critical questions about the role of academics and universities in a flawed system and the implications of government reliance on REF rankings for public policy decisions.
