The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the main research assessment for universities in the UK. It informs university league tables and the allocation of government research funding. This paper analyses the evaluations of the REF 2014 for Economics, Business, Politics and History. First, we analyse from which journals articles have been submitted; second, to what extent journal ratings and journal impact factors predict the REF’s evaluations; third, how many articles from heterodox economics journals have been submitted. We find that a small group of journals dominate the outputs submitted. Journal ratings and impact factors explain 80% of the variation in the output evaluations for Economics. These values are lower but still substantial for other disciplines. Few papers from heterodox economics journals were submitted to Economics. Overall, the REF in its present form marginalises heterodox economics, pushes it out of the discipline and endangers pluralism in economics research.

2014年卓越研究框架,期刊评级和异质经济学的边缘化

卓越研究框架(REF)是英国大学的主要研究评估。它告知大学排行榜和政府研究经费的分配。本文分析了REF 2014对经济,商业,政治和历史的评估。首先,我们分析从哪些期刊提交了文章;其次,期刊等级和期刊影响因素在多大程度上预测了REF的评估;第三,从异质经济学期刊上发表了多少篇文章。我们发现一小部分期刊在提交的输出中占主导地位。期刊评级和影响因素解释了经济学产出评估中80%的变化。这些值较低,但对于其他学科仍然很重要。来自异质经济学期刊的论文很少提交给《经济学》。全面的,
