The growth of the audit culture in the world academic research system as typified by the United Kingdom Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) has led to an extreme preoccupation with research league tables, and their associated branding, marketing, and managerial strategies. The most examined of all research league tables is the UK RAE, which has been held every 5–6 years since 1985.
