Research Evaluation


Every five years in the UK University sector there is an activity known as the 'Research Evaluation Exercise' (RAE) - this is to permit the comparison and evaluation of the research output of UK universities for the purpose of future allocation of government funds. The most recent RAE evaluation extended from mid-1996 to the end of 2000 - Aston Business School obtained a Grade of 5b; they rank 2 nd in the UK list of Business Schools (following the London School of Economics, no less) by one of the criteria used by the Times. They are accredited by numerous bodies.

In this document I have used the RAE headings to lists papers, book chapters and peer reviewed conference proceedings with which I have been associated since September 2001 when I converted to Research Fellow status. In this list I have followed the RAE classifications, as sole or joint author - although in total I have well over 120 outputs. I have listed future activities (in a blue font).
