Peer review before research tied to better science

Great thing indeed. For all the universities spending money on useless mock REFs, your academics' lives will be much better if you implemented this Instead of marking already published material. Provide support through a panel of expert peers which can help push international excellent to world leading research where it can. In fact universities can collaborate to form cross university panels. Universities can also get experts from top universities from across the globe to go on to these panels too. Much better use of money than internal REF evaluations.
