Draft Guidance on Submissions (REF 2018/01 document).
Consultation on the panel criteria and working methods (REF 2018/02 document).
When you have a new output accepted or published it must be uploaded to SRO within 3 months of acceptance (see the University's implementation of the HEFCE policy on OA here).
The School prefers that you forward the details to the School office. Office staff will upload the publication to SRO for you. This helps the School to keep track of all Outputs.
[UPDATE: See REF 2017/04 document above. For REF compliance the publications must be deposited as soon as possible and at least within 3 months of Acceptance. A formal 'exception' is allowed however - the publication must be deposited within 3 months of the earliest publication date.]
