What do you think about REF? Can 'everything' be Research now?

REF criteria seems to classify everything as research outcome. Am I missing something?

Do you mean for 'impact'?

There is a letter is last week's THES (http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=419632§ioncode=26) and a reply in this week's that (http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=419691&c=2) you might be interested in.

Someone wrote into say a friend's formula was cited in The Big Bang Theory and this must count as 'impact'. The reply states that this would only be regarded as 'impact' if they were able to predict at the begining that the formula would be cited in The Big Bang Theory...
