Abstract or Description

The aim of this note is to provide some insights into the possible consequences of the use of shadow metrics in the 2008 RAE and the use of metrics more generally after the next 2008 RAE. It is important to anticipate and consider these consequences in order to inform the choice of appropriate metrics and the implications for research funding. Before presenting the data analysis it is necessary to discuss some of the issues involved in designing a funding metric.
