Will bibliometrics be the only indicator of quality? How will research income and student data inform quality assessment?
We remain open to the possibility that bibliometrics would be the sole indicator of quality, and that other indicators would drive distinct elements of quality-related research (QR) funding (these could be weighted differently for different subject groups). The alternative would be to construct a compound quality indicator with bibliometrics and other measures. This compound indicator could then drive a substantial portion of QR funding, alongside other funding elements driven directly by data, including student numbers and charity income.
