v1.3

  • Added support for REF4 data + 2 exporters for REF4 (XML and MS Excel)
  • Added exporter for MS Excel (requires PERL module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) for REF1a/b/c + REF2
  • Added field 'Article number'
  • In REF Selection: changed 'Remove' to 'Deselect'
  • Added friendly file name to exported files (format: {report name} + date + {file extension} e.g. ref2_2013-02-01.xml)
  • Added a few mappings EPrints -> HEFCE types
  • Added field length checks for place, publisher, volumeTitle, volume, issue, firstPage, issn, isbn, doi, patentNumber and outputMedia
  • The REF::Listing page will not show if user doesn't have ref/select (unless champion)
  • The REF::Overview page will not show if user doesn't have ref/view/ref2 (unless champion)
  • Code optimisation: more caching + a few extra hooks if institutions want to hide certain parts of REF (e.g. REF1)
  • Improve way to manage Exporter plugins
  • Fixed a few minor bugs: Export fails if the EPrint does not exist, warning if the EPrint is not in the live archive, Javascript errors
  • v1.2.2

  • UnitofAssessment should be an integer (1..36) without the main panel's letter (A..D). Same comment for crossReferToUoa
  • "Year" not properly captured by the REF2 Report.
  • Typo: <proposeDoubleWeighting> not <proposedDoubleWeighting>
  • Removing a user from a UoA removes that user from previous Benchmarks (note that the data isn't lost, there is a logical error in the Reports)
  • Similarly, moving a user from one UoA to another will show that user's selections on the new UoA, for all benchmarks.
  • Possibility to search the live archive and review buffer for selections (REF::Listing)
  • Wrong ordering of the UoAs on the REF::Report::Listing page (B7..B9 appear after B15)
  • REF1c: warning messages (missing fields etc) do not appear in-line as they should
  • CSV / Excel: Excel tries to parse the ISBN as a number hence showing something like '12345e+12'. Same with HESA ID's. Possible fix: use format: ="123468749" to force text.
  • Type 'M' should map to eprints' type 'exhibition'
  • multipleSubmission is a single letter not a boolean.
  • outputIdentifier needs to be a unique so use the selectionid rather than eprintid (which won't be unique for multiple selections)
