Re: [EP-tech] Future REF plugin

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.
Hi Lee,

There is a plan to develop a REF 2029 ingredient/plugin for release later this year, ahead of the changes to REF OA compliance criteria in January 2026. 

The current plan is that this will be an upgrade to the existing REF CC plugin which was used to calculate REF OA compliance for the last REF. The first step in the upgrade plan will be to update the compliance criteria to support the new rules, and then this will be followed by support for selecting EPrint records for submission, building benchmarks etc.

As soon as it's ready we'll publish a roadmap for the REF plugin updates and keep you posted with any developments.

Many thanks,

Will

Good Afternoon

 

Apologies if I’ve missed an announcement, but are we expecting a REF plugin or ingredient

 

Or is there any advice on what plugins or ingredients that can be used?

 

Thanks

 

Lee
