Assessment of Research
A periodic national exercise assesses the quality of research in all UK higher education institutions where submissions from each subject area (or Unit of Assessment) are rated by a subject specialist peer review panel. Previously known as the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the results of the next periodic review, now called the Research Excellence Framework (REF), will be published in 2014.Results from the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise confirmed the University of East Anglia as one of the leading research institutions in the UK placing UEA 35th in the research rankings of all UK universities.
