Three Types of publication
• Teaching and Learning literature
• Research Work that makes a contribution to knowledge – that adds to our understanding of the topic. May include work that would not be included in the REF using current criteria and
• REF-able writing

Teaching and Learning Literature
• Guides to good practice; descriptions of projects; discussions of new
teaching and learning techniques; text books; reflective accounts of
innovations and experimentation.
• It shares existing knowledge
• It might show how something worked in a specific context, without
generating significant transferable new knowledge
• It helps promote excellent practice
• It can be significant in building a CV for UTF or NTF.
• It may be very scholarly and informed, powerfully argued and well
written, but is not research because it is not generating new knowledge.

Research
• Work that makes a contribution to knowledge – that adds to our understanding
of the topic.
• May include work that would not be included in the REF using current criteria,
because it is not internationally excellent or world leading (3* or 4*) i.e. could be
1* or 2* research
• Might include the analysis of empirical data that challenges or adds to existing
understandings of the topic
• Might include an engagement with or challenge to, existing theories or practices
• Would normally be located in a theoretical framework or at least firmly linked to
existing literature on the topic
• Meet usual expectations for research with respect to reliability and validity etc.

Research likely to be included in a REF exercise
• Warning: the rules may change!!!
• Work that is internationally excellent or world leading in terms of its significance, rigour
and originality (3* or 4*).
• It will therefore include all the things mentioned in the slide on research generally, AND
• It will do some (not necessarily all) of the following:
– Produce ideas about teaching and learning that are new and important – that either
develop existing knowledge significantly or reframe it in some way
– Be situated in a theoretical framework
– Challenge existing theory , practice or policy using carefully articulated and
theoretically sound processes
– Have a strong empirical base – either based on substantial data or on data of
significant depth and richness
