Relative Citation Ratio metric use
Dear University Grants Committee Secretariat,
In a similar manner to the NIH/Wellcome Trust and other funders, can I ask if the UGC/RGC are using the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) (see: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.100...) in their research assessments?
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds

Sent request to University Grants Committee Secretariat again, using a new contact address.
Dear University Grants Committee Secretariat,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of University Grants Committee Secretariat's handling of my FOI request 'Relative Citation Ratio metric use'.
I sent this enquiry many months ago so am sending it again this is long overdue by law. My question again is:
In a similar manner to the NIH/Wellcome Trust and other funders, can I ask if the UGC/RGC are using the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) (see https://dx.doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pbi... ) in their research assessments?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://accessinfo.hk/en/request/relativ...
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds
