Subject: Re: UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) review

There have been many studies over the years (primarily authored by one C.
Oppenheim, but also by others) demonstrating a statistically significant
correlation between citation counts by academics returned for the RAE
and their department's eventual RAE scores.  These studies cover hard
science, soft science and humanities;  not sure if any studies have been
done in engineering subjects though.
