Questions
• What exactly do we need to keep?
• How will this be audited?
• What metadata are needed?
• How will this link with the RCUK data requirements?

Principles• The collection, retention and submission requirements should be
minimal.
• The audit process should give assurance that the information and data submitted are accurate and reliable and that declarations made about compliance are accurate.
• The audit process should be light-touch, checking processes rather than data wherever possible.
• Where samples are taken for auditing the use of exceptions, these should be weighted towards units of assessment within an HEI’s REF submission that show higher than average uptake of exceptions.
• Processes and data relating to outputs published by an individual while not employed by the submitting HEI will not be audited. This includes outputs published while at a different UK HEI.
• Information requirements should be unified with those of the research councils wherever possible.

Metadata• Repositories are not libraries. Open access
can be delivered perfectly well with ‘fuzzy’ metadata.
• There are lots of competing standards, so best to specify requirements at a broad level.
• Emerging practices and standards being adopted by others should be compatible, where applicable.
