British universities consistently undertake world-class science, receiving over 12 % of all citations to published papers and 10 % of internationally-recognised prizes each year. This output is reviewed every four years or so in a process called the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the most recent of which was in 2008. This chart is a visualisation of some of the results from the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Science and technology subjects are represented as vertical strips, with each university's performance as a thin, medium or wide marker. To reduce complexity, only research ranked at 4* was considered.
