NC as this might be outing
We're all under huge pressure to publish 4 3-4* publications for REF and our work is increasingly being scrutinized to make sure we're getting there (published work is internally reviewed and rated and draft publications have to be internally reviewed before submission). I find this all very stressful but I understand why it needs to be done.
In line with REF guidelines, all published work needs to be uploaded to our repository so it's open access. Fine, we all do that.
However, today I found out that a senior professor is refusing to upload her work to the repository because she doesn't want it to be reviewed and rated. So her work is completely unusable for REF despite her having several high impact papers in top journals.
I'm completely gob-smacked and so pissed off that everyone else is working their arses off to get top publications and she's seemingly just allowed to get away with flatly refusing to make her work available.
This colleague has form for not being particularly collegiate and co-operative but still.. this is next level crazy.
Don't know why I'm posting really, there's no question! I'm just stunned and needed to vent.
