UK Yearbook

ANALYZING UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE RESEARCH PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE UK

The Research Yearbook has become firmly established as an essential point of reference for anyone with an interest in the UK research base.

This new, 10th edition sees the inclusion of University Alliance, in addition to the Russell Group and the 1994 Group, recognising the importance of innovation in the sector. All UK higher education institutions (HEIs) funded for research are included, and the now familiar Research Footprints®, sectoral comparisons, detailed institution-by-institution analyses, and league tables are all updated.

The Research Yearbook provides the means to gain a rapid overview of the research strengths of any UK HEI, and compare its performance with that of its peers. It is an invaluable tool for those wishing to assess their own institution's areas of relative strength and weakness, as well as a versatile directory for those looking to invest in UK research.

It will save research offices in any organisation with R&D links many months of work, allowing administrative and management staff the opportunity to focus on the strategic priorities that these data will help to inform.

The Research Yearbook sets out in clear diagrams and summary tables the research profile for UK HEIs funded for research. Research Footprints® compare each UK HEI's performance to the average for its sector, allowing strengths and weaknesses to be rapidly identified by research managers and by industrial customers. Contact information for the research and corporate liaison offices at each UK HEI are provided.

A range of performance measures are compared across subjects for funding inputs, training activity and output performance. The Research Yearbook includes league tables for each indicator and subject area showing where each UK HEI stands.
