System Outputs and Definitions
1. Research Outputs (sourced from Enlighten)
The list of publications provided at Appendix A has been sourced from Enlighten, the University’s research publications service and should effectively list the publications as provided by you to the database in the period from 1 January 2008. The Library has worked extensively with staff across the University to ensure that publications coverage is as comprehensive as possible. For the purposes of this year’s PDR process, you will firstly be required to extract from this list the total number of items you have published in the last 12 months (1 May 2012 - 30 April 2013) and detail from this list, up to four of your most significant publications in the last 12 months. This information should be recorded under section i) a) of the research outputs section of the form. Secondly, you will be required to detail from your publication list your four most significant publications in the last 4 years. This information should be recorded under section i) b) of the research outputs section of the form.
The citation author listing taken from Enlighten has been set to display only the first author and "et al" where there are more than 10 authors.
Please note that impact factors cannot be provided in an automated manner currently.
Guidance on how to update Enlighten is available at www.gla.ac.uk/services/openaccess/managingyourresearchpublications/#tabs=2.
Any enquiries regarding publications or impact factors should be sent to deposit@lib.gla.ac.uk.
2. Research Applications, Awards and Income Generation
The financial and related information in respect of research grants and contracts is based on the period 1 May 2012 to 30 April 2013. Please note this section covers projects classified as research grants and contracts and will not include for example; studentships, consultancies, service agreements, CPDs or knowledge transfer partnerships.
Research Grant/Contract applications submitted within the review period, include dates, value, percentage ownership
A full list of all research classified applications submitted to funding bodies within the period under review; data extracted from the Research System.
Research Grant/Contract awards active within the review period, include dates, value, percentage ownership
A full list of all active research classified projects in Agresso as at 30 April 2013.
The award value is the income (price) budget, and should match the latest award letter (after adjusting for amounts due to external partners).
The total value of the award is shown alongside the percentage academic ownership attributable to the individual investigator.
Research Grant/Contract Income earned within the review period (generated from central sources; this will reflect the proportion of award recognised in the review period)
Research Grant/Contract Income is “Income Earned” as recognised and reported in the College Income and Expenditure Report. This is calculated by project, using the formula:
Actual expenditure (excl. Estates and Indirects)/total budgeted expenditure (excl. Estates and Indirects) x Total Budgeted Income (Price)
- All of the above data above is extracted from Agresso
- Total Budgeted Income = Awarded Income as stated in Award letter (after adjusting for amounts due to external partners)
The income earned in the review period for the research grant/contract is shown alongside the percentage academic ownership attributable to the individual investigator.
Income data calculated as above is used for both the REF and HESA returns.
3. Research Supervision/Management
Student Data – PhD Students, give name, start date, whether you are first or second supervisor and percentage ownership
Information pertaining to student details and percentage ownership is derived from MyCampus.
Data is provided for all PhD students who were actively supervised by an individual in the last 12 months (1 May 2012 – 30 April 2013). The information provided includes the start date of the individual’s supervisory period, the supervisor’s status as “principal supervisor” or “second supervisor” and the percentage supervisory load for the individual supervisor. Where students are "writing up" this is also indicated.
Separately, data is provided on the number of PhD students supervised by the individual during the period under review. This is broken down as follows:
- Number of PhD students undertaking research
- Number of PhD students writing up
These totals are broken down according to whether the individual was Lead/Co. Supervisor or Second Supervisor.
Staff Data - Research Associates/Assistants and Technicians
Information relating to Research Associates/Assistants and Technicians will require to be completed by individual staff members as the information cannot readily be accessed currently through central systems.
