Research Assessment Exercise 1996

The Research Assessment Exercise and Electronic Journals

HEFCE Circular RAE96 1/94 para 25c states:

In the light of the recommendations of the Joint Funding Councils' Libraries Review Group Report (published in December 1993) refereed journal articles published through electronic means will be treated on the same basis as those appearing in printed journals.

This is the result of adopting the following recommendation in Librev Chapter 7:

289. To help promote the status and acceptability of electronic journals, the Review Group also recommends that the funding councils should make it clear that refereed articles published electronically will be accepted in the next Research Assessment Exercise on the same basis as those appearing in printed journals.
