The document discusses key points about what makes research outputs eligible for submission to the UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment. It dispels common myths, such as the importance of journal impact factors or citation counts. The core REF assessment criteria of originality, significance, and rigor are emphasized. The peer review process is described as independent and ensuring anonymity. Tips are provided for writing REF-eligible papers, such as using appropriate guidelines and conveying messages clearly. The timing of research, publication, and submission processes is outlined in preparation for the 2022 REF.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. What makes a REF paper
REF-able?
Roger Watson
Professor of Nursing
Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Advanced Nursing
Editor, Nursing Open
2. REF myths
• Outputs have to be related to one another
• Impact factors of journals are important
• Outputs have to be highly cited
• Order of authorship matters
• The scoring of my outputs will be published
• There’s no information available about REF processes
• If only we could see examples of environment & impact
3. REF 2020
• Assessment criteria for outputs unlikely to change
• Possibly only 4* research will be funded
• Peer review will be the basis of the assessment
5. Sub-panel working methods
• Sub-panels will review their expertise to ensure
appropriate coverage
• Work will be allocated to members/assessors with
appropriate expertise
• Each sub-panel will run calibration exercises for
outputs and impacts, guided by the main panels
• All outputs will be examined in sufficient detail to
contribute to the formation of the outputs sub-profiles
• Each case study will normally be assessed by at least
one academic and one user
• Graduated sub-profiles will be formed for each aspect
of submissions
REF panels:
6. Research outputs
• Outputs may include but are not limited to: printed or
electronic publications, materials, devices, images,
artefacts, products, buildings, confidential or technical
reports, patents, performances, exhibits or events
• All types of research and all forms of research output
shall be assessed on a fair and equal basis
• Panels will assess outputs through a process of expert
review. Where stated in the ‘panel criteria’, panels will
take account of additional information and/or citation
data to inform judgements based on expert review
• Panels will not use journal impact factors, rankings or
lists or the perceived standing of the publisher
Outputs:
7. Co-authorship
• A co-authored output may be listed against one or more
individuals that made a substantial research contribution
to it
• It may be listed against any or all such co-authors
returned in different submissions; and a maximum of
two such co-authors within the same submission
• In very specific situations the panels require information
to confirm that the author made a substantial research
contribution
• Once this is accepted, panels will assess the quality of
the output, not the individual author’s contribution
Outputs:
8. Assessment criteria
• The criteria for assessing the quality of outputs are
originality, significance and rigour
• Each panel provides further explanation of how they will
interpret these criteria
• Panels will assess the quality of outputs, not the
contribution of individual researchers to the submission
• They will examine all outputs in sufficient detail to
contribute to the formation of a robust outputs sub-profile
that represents all the outputs listed in a submission
Outputs:
9. Assessment criteria
The criteria for assessing the quality of outputs are
originality, significance and rigour*
Four star
Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and
rigour
Three star
Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality,
significance and rigour but which falls short of the highest standards of
excellence
Two star Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality,
significance and rigour
One star
Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance
and rigour
Unclassified
Quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work. Or
work which does not meet the published definition of research for the
purposes of this assessment
* Each main panel provides descriptive account of the criteria
Outputs:
10. How it works
• Independent peer review of outputs
• Entered separately on REF system
• Anomalies discussed and scores agreed
• Scores are aggregated and individual scores are obliterated
from the system
• No paper trail is maintained
• Highly reliable system
11. Assessors
• ~ 300 outputs each as first assessor; plus
• ~ 300 as second assessor
• ~ 6 months to complete assessment
• How long can an assessor spend on an output?
14. Citations and journal rankings
• Citation data available
• Journal rankings never enter discussions
15. Writing REF-able papers 1
• Remember – it is the research that is being judged
• The output is only the vehicle
• However, the vehicle should be in ‘good shape’
16. Writing REF-able papers 2
• Use the words ‘originality’, ‘significance’ and ‘rigour’
• Use the words ‘international’, ‘global’
• Good journals will tend to help you write good papers
• Use journal facilities such as summaries to convey the main
message of the output
• Don’t use predatory journals
17. Writing REF-able papers 3
• Use Equator guidelines to present papers, eg:
• CONSORT for RCTs
• PRISMA for Systematic reviews
18. Processes leading up to REF
• Internal peer review prior to publication
• Internal REF review
• External REF review (former sub-panel members)
• Selection – will depend on university strategy
19. Timing for 2022
• Publication date (ie with doi) 31 December 2020
• Submission to publication can take 12 months
• Writing can take 12 months (possible including rejections)
• So:
– 2021 becomes 2020 (assessment period)
– 2020 becomes 2019 (final acceptance period)
– 2019 becomes 2018 (final submission period)
– 2018 becomes 2017 (final writing period)
Open Access – be systematic in using ‘green route’
repositories
20. REF myths

• Impact factors of journals are important
• Outputs have to be highly cited
• Order of authorship matters
• The scoring of my outputs will be published
• There’s no information available about REF processes
• If only we could see examples of environment & impact
