tidy_results: Tidy REF results and filter by Unit of Assessment

In Selbosh/ref2014: Analysis of the UK Research Excellence Framework 2014

Description

This is a convenience function for filtering REF2014 results from a particular Unit of Assessment (UoA; i.e. subject area) by its numeric ID, by exact name or by a partial regular expression.

Usage

tidy_results(number = NULL, name = NULL, grep = NULL, ...)

Arguments

number	an integer from 1 to 36. See UoA for a key
name	a string. See UoA for possible names
grep	a regular expression representing (part of) a UoA name
...	arguments passed to grepl

Details

As well as filtering the rows of the results dataset, this function also selects only the most useful columns and renames the column to 'snake_case', which is slightly more convenient for programming.

Value

A tibble containing the following columns:

• name of institution

• UoA name

• UoA number

• type of profile (Overall, Environment, Impact, Outputs)

• number of full-time equivalent (FTE) staff in the submission

• percentage of submission rated 4\*, 3\*, 2\*, 1\* or unclassified

Note

This function does not check how many UoAs are selected. It could be zero, one or all of them.

Examples

# All of the following are equivalent:
tidy_results(18)
tidy_results(name = 'Economics & Econometrics')
tidy_results(grep = 'con')
