Common RAE Problems:
Basic misconception - the exercise does not directly evaluate research, RAE assesses the external significance and standing of research outputs
Difficulties with audited material - lack of evidence of dissemination (appropriate verification should identify the nature and research content of each output and the means whereby output is published, manufactured and disseminated within the public domain.)
inconsistent and inaccurate citations
(continuous record keeping)
shortage of cited works in craft and design consultancy areas
engineering-based design which would be returned to appropriate engineering UOA
