Publications lists and research outputs for RAE 2008
The UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008) will produce quality profiles for participating higher education institutions, which will then be used by the higher education funding bodies to determine research grant allocations from 2009-2010 onwards.
A major component of the RAE is the publication record of academic staff. An institution's submission must contain details of selected publications for each staff member. (e.g. see the user guide section on data entry for RA2 staff).
Gathering these details can be a time-consuming process, both for administrative staff and for the researchers themselves.
Your submission for the Research Assessment Exercise
PublicationsList.org makes it simple to gather publications details and other research outputs from faculty members for your RAE submission
Publicationslist.org is an online service which lets research staff maintain an online list of their publications, with bibliographic information, keywords, notes, links to PDFs and DOIs. The lists are hosted on publicationslist.org and are also simple to embed within departmental websites.
It is particularly useful for gathering the necessary information for a successful RAE submission, with features below:
- Easy for staff members to maintain their own publications list
- As well as standard bibliography fields, users can add keywords such as RAE2008, Top 4, **** to the publications and write notes explaining why a particular paper was selected
- There is space for adding DOI identifiers, links to online full text PDF versions
- Staff members can upload PDF versions of papers and host them on publicationslist.org
- For the departmental RAE submission, it is simple to extract selected publications (e.g. those with tag 'RAE 2008').
The site is also useful in the longer term for improving the look of your departmental / research group publications list, and reducing the burden of keeping it up to date, online and linked to full text versions of papers. Having open access versions of your group's publications has also been shown to boost citation counts and research impact
Publicationslist.org offers a group publications management solution which enables research staff to maintain a list of their own publications and annotate or tag those to be included in the submission.
