Peer Review in Scientific Publications: Government and Research Councils UK Responses to the Committee’s Eighth Report of Session 2010–12

 Short Description

This is a report into peer review in scientific publications. Despite enormous pressure on public spending, the £4.6bn per annum funding for science and research programmes has been protected in cash terms and ring-fenced against future pressures during the Spending Review period.

This strong settlement for science and research is a demonstration of the Government’s commitment to rebalancing the economy and promoting economic growth. The ring-fence around funding for science and research programmes, including for the first time HEFCE research programmes, provides stability and certainty to the research base.
