Metrics for assessing research quality/impact
At RIC in November the University statement on responsible research metrics was approved.
This is related to this post:https://blogs.napier.ac.uk/rio/using-metrics-to-illustrate-research-impact/.
Responsible metrics to describe outputs will now be part of the academic and researcher promotions rounds that opens in Feb. Details of this will be covered in the applicant briefing and guidance.

There will be updates to the research web profiles on the University webpages in the week of 10th Feb. This was due to happen in December, but was delayed. Hopefully you will like the new look!
