Abstract
Most institutes who entered the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) Unit of Assessment (UoA) 10 put forward several papers that are clearly not nursing in any meaningful way. 6.1% of all papers are neither papers about nursing, relevant to nursing, or in nursing journals. Non-nursing papers are associated with similar RAE scores as nursing papers. Those institutes that enter many non-nursing papers do not focus on one other area, but enter papers from several.
If the 2007/8 RAE were to be similar to the 2001 RAE then there is scope to place academics from other disciplines to increase funding for nursing, even if the rating is not improved. It would probably be sensible to enter academics from clinical or social science areas that could be construed as relevant to nursing.
