<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hi all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I was wondering if any Ref Plugin users on the list can help us out with this…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We are calculating our percentage of compliance with REF Open Access policy to make sure we’re below the 5% threshold.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The REF Plugin marks gold open access items as ‘OutOfScope’ (along with articles and conference proceedings accepted before 1/4/2016, or with no ISSN, or other item types).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The REF Guidance states that each unit can submit up to 5% ‘in-scope’ items that do not meet the requirements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">So should the denominator we use to get our percentage exclude gold items because the plugin says they are ‘OutOfScope’ or do we include them in the number because they are effectively ‘compliant’
(and give ourselves a bit more leeway?).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The latter seems the fairest to me – but that then leads to how other plugin users highlight which ‘OutOfScope’ items are in fact gold/compliant when using the Submission System report to send off
to Research England?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Any help much appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p>
