Executive summary

Purpose

1. This document describes the criteria and working methods for the main panels and unit of assessment (UOA) sub-panels in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008).

Key points

2. These statements of criteria and working methods have been revised and finalised following a public consultation on earlier draft versions which we conducted over summer 2005. They take account of views expressed through the consultation by higher education institutions and their staff, subject associations and other stakeholder bodies.

3. The main and sub-panel statements of criteria and working methods should be read alongside both the generic statement in Section 2 and the guidance on data requirements for the 2008 RAE (RAE 03/2005 ‘Guidance on submissions’).

Action required

4. This document is for information and guidance. No action is required.
