Researchfish data
The Researchfish question set73 does not specifically stress that entries should relate to outputs and outcomes achieved only as a result of the award that is being reported on. Many of the questions also refer to aspects that underpinned the project. For example, questions in the area ‘collaborations’ can be applied to collaborations in the EME project itself (i.e. an activity, rather than an output or outcome of the award) or to collaborations formed as a result of the funded research beyond the EME award. In some data fields, the reported outputs and outcomes predate the EME award itself and it can, therefore, be assumed that the entries refer to the context or set-up of the project rather than its outputs.
For this analysis, we have defined ‘collaborations and partnerships’ and ‘PPI’ as activities carried out as part of the EME projects. All other fields are interpreted as ‘outputs’ or ‘outcomes’ (see Chapter 3, The EME programme logic model). For these fields, entries that predated the start of the award were removed as they cannot be a result of the funding ().
