The Research Yearbook provides the means to gain a rapid overview of the research strengths of any UK Higher Education institution, and compare its performance with that of its peers. It is an invaluable tool for those wishing to assess their own institution's areas of relative strength and weakness, as well as a versatile directory for those looking to invest in UK research.

It will save research offices in any organisation with R&D links many months of work, allowing administrative and management staff the opportunity to focus on the strategic priorities that these data will help to inform.

It sets out in clear diagrams and summary tables the research profile for Universities and Colleges funded for research. Research Footprints^® compare each institution's performance to the average for its sector, allowing strengths and weaknesses to be rapidly identified by research managers and by industrial customers. Contact information for the research and corporate liaison offices at each institution are provided.

A range of performance measures are compared across subjects for funding inputs, training activity and output performance. The Research Yearbook includes league tables for each indicator and subject area showing where each University stands.
