REF-ranker

REF-ranker is a research tool, developed by researchers at the University of Surrey and the London School of Economics, that estimates where a research output would most likely have sat in REF 2021. It places the output within a benchmark of real REF 2021 outputs from the same unit of assessment, using a large language model to compare it, pair by pair, against those outputs, and explains the placement in written feedback.

The demonstration service is available by invitation.
