DDH submitted with Culture, Media & Creative Industries as a single Unit of Assessment to the REF Panel 36 - Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library and Information Management. 67 UoA in that Panel.Together, we submitted 35 staff to REF2014, including six early career staff and a total of 119 research outputs including journal articles, edited books, authored books and digital research resources and online content.
Impact case studies: 90% 4*, 10% 3* Research Environment: 100% 4*Research Outputs: 69% 4* and 3*; 31% 1* and 2*
Ranking based on Grade Point Average: 8th of 67 Research Power ranking: 1st
Note: research power ranking takes into account how many submissions were made, because DDH/CMCI together submitted over 30 staff and scored highly in 3* and 4* (particularly in impact and research environment) we jumped over smaller Departments/UoAs that were submitted.

The Balanced Value Impact Model
“the measurable outcomes arising from the existence of a digital
resource that demonstrate a change in the life or life opportunities
of the community”

Economic Impact• Direct impacts occur when additional demand for a unit
generates a corresponding unit of output
(e.g. a chair for sale)
• Indirect impacts arise as demand for materials and fuels used
to create that unit of output generates, in turn, outputs in other
industries, e.g. wood, steel, paint, fabric, electricity, gas, and
services used in furniture production.
• Induced impacts are felt as increases in compensation of
employees lead to increased spending on goods and services
in the economy.
