For UHR REF, Research Assessment & Research Culture Network
The growth of RSE has created a more sustainable world for people who want to help advance research with software. It’s been so hugely successful that I couldn’t stop thinking about why it didn’t happen earlier. The answer, I believe, lies in our restrictive research culture that clings to a model of research that no longer applies in the modern world. Changing that culture relies on rethinking how we measure what success means in research and, to do that, we launched a new campaign called the Hidden REF. I’ll talk through the history of this campaign and how we’re trying to create a research culture that recognises all research outputs and everyone involved in their creation.
