That analysis in The Independent doesn't include specialist universities so we're not even in it, but in yet another version which I've already forgotten, we are supposed to be top in the 'power rankings' for our subject area, so I'd definitely agree about taking it all with a pinch of salt!

Do I remember somebody saying that there were intra-departmental rankings, so you could find out how a particular section of your Department did? Any idea where to find that info?

Coastman, I'm not sure that level of detail will be posted on the RAE site. You could either wait for the internal 'post-mortem' that 'drills down' into the results for internal consumption and sniff around to see what people are saying, or wait till the individual results are on the RAE site and try to work out what people's possible rating was from their 4 outputs, using the RAE assessment guidelines on their site.

PS mild apologies for using the new RAE analysis jargon I learnt today, nowhere else to try it out at the moment.

Unless this is any use, Coastman? This 'table of excellence' was in today's THE, with breakdowns for subject and institution, but it's not inter-departmental. (It's really all one link, but it's too long to post properly and went a bit odd)
