The Funding Councils have established a central REF Equality and Diversity Panel to advise the REF team, REF panels and the funding bodies on arrangements for dealing with equality and diversity matters and, in particular, on how to treat more complex circumstances for individual members of staff who may be submitted with fewer than four publications. All panels will apply the same rules for early career researchers, part-time staff and women who have taken maternity leave or staff who have had other periods of absence during the REF submission period in relation to the number of publications which may be returned without penalty. As for RAE 2008, universities were required to develop a Code of Practice on the selection of staff in order to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process. The approved Code can be downloaded from this webpage.

SHERPA Impact factor Calculation[edit] In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years.[1] For example, if a journal has an impact factor of 3 in 2008, then its papers published in 2006 and 2007 received 3 citations each on average in 2008. The 2008 impact factor of a journal would be calculated as follows: A = the number of times that articles published in that journal in 2006 and 2007, were cited by articles in indexed journals during 2008. B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2006 and 2007. 2008 impact factor = A/B. (Note that 2008 impact factors are actually published in 2009; they cannot be calculated until all of the 2008 publications have been processed by the indexing agency.) Use[edit] The impact factor is used to compare different journals within a certain field. Criticisms[edit] Numerous criticisms have been made of the use of an impact factor. Responses[edit]

In July 1934 at the age of 14, he sat the exams for the Massimo d'Azeglio liceo classico, a Lyceum (sixth form) specialising in the classics, and was admitted that autumn. At the end of the summer he finally passed his Italian exam, and in October he enrolled at the University of Turin, to study chemistry.
