Researchers and research managers often look for examples of REF impact case studies when planning or drafting submissions. To support this, I have published a number of blog posts containing lists of impact case studies by score and other interesting characteristics, along with guidance on different aspects of impact case studies. These posts are now becoming buried in my blog. This page brings together my main REF impact case study resources to make them easier to navigate.
