Not so hot on the heels of my other REF2021 impact case study spreadsheet-based lists (4* impact case studies from REF2021 and top 5 impact submissions in every UoA), here is a list of all impact case studies with known scores.
The impact case study database can be searched and filtered in a number of ways but (beyond sitting with a spreadsheet of REF results) there is no easy way to pick out examples to compare higher and lower scoring case studies. I’ve done the spreadsheet-sifting and the results are below. Each UoA dropdown reveals links to the case studies by score. These are only the case studies we can assign unambiguously – i.e. where the submission scored 100% 4*, 3*, etc. There other ways of inferring scores, for example in a submission that scored 50% 4* and 50% 2*, it would be feasible to infer which case studies scored 4* and which scored 2* but this would involve more time and insight – and you couldn’t know absolutely that that’s how the panel saw it .

Thanks to David Steynor (currently Research Impact Manager at Queen’s University Belfast) for his original “all known scores” spreadsheet of REF2014 impact case studies. I’ve effectively just updated that here.
