Other Projects

1. In 2023-2024, we undertook a mixed methods approach (from interviews, surveys, through to deep learning) to understand Impact Case Studies that were submitted to Research Excellence Framework of 2021. Funded by the British Academy and the Academy of Social Sciences (AcSS), you can find a copy of our (lengthy) report here, and a link to our online interactive dashboard here.

2. Between 2016-2018 I was fortunate enough to work with both academic colleagues (now at Bocconi and Barcelona) and colleages at Transparency International to create openaccess.transparency.org.uk. Blog post by Steve about it here, with a code library from Ian about wrangling ministerial meetings data here. Perhaps one day there will be a paper about it…

3. I’ve also put together a library (“Lit_Reviewer”) for scraping various scientometric repositories. It’s still a work in progress, likely won’t end up going anywhere further, but feel free to raise issues on the repository as appropriate!
