We think that over the first few years in which the Tef is implemented, university leaders and academics will be figuring out how to work out “the system”. The proponents of the Tef (and the Ref) will use their observed experiences of such opportunistic behaviours to justify their continuing use of these systems they may even wish to expand these excellence frameworks (perhaps a new ‘CEF’ – citizenship excellence framework). Over time, the assumptions on which the Ref and the Tef are based are likely to be self-fulfilling: universities and academics may not perform as expected unless they are monitored and incentivised. It has also created a short-term focus on immediate publication, rather than an emphasis on longer-term projects of potentially greater importance. Although there have undoubtedly been some improvements in research management thanks to the attention that has been paid to assessing it, many apparent developments have been driven by gaming - the selection of staff to be included the construction of journal lists as a proxy for research article quality and a concentration on journal outputs at the expense of other forms of dissemination. The Ref has already demonstrated these risks in several ways, despite being a relatively straightforward measurement system tempered by a high degree of peer review and the subjective judgment of assessment panels. Once the Tef is implemented, it will be difficult to stop regardless of how much evidence against it is gathered. It also underestimates the likely behavioural responses of people under pressure. It assumes that universities and academics are reluctant to provide the best education they can unless they are controlled and incentivised, which shows a lack of understanding of universities’ fundamental values and motivations.
