Street children in Africa and a site engineer at a marine-biology research station are among those recognized by the Hidden Research Excellence Framework awards
Kevin Atkins, site engineer at the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, UK, was recognized by the Hidden REF panel.Everyone wants to be a Nobel prizewinner, but Nobel prizewinners didn’t get there on their own. Alongside the support of family and friends, scientists rely on an army of technicians, librarians and other people who fill roles that contribute to research outputs — from the humble article to paradigm-shifting experiments.
The first round had more than 120 submissions in 21 categories that provided significant value but were formally unrecognized. Entries included: a crowd-sourcing platform for increasing access to collections at the British Library; an open-source project to make data science reproducible, ethical, collaborative and inclusive; a comic about experiences of dementia; and the work of countless research managers, administrators, software engineers and technicians.
Another example is our research participants. Their data are anonymized and used in our publications, but their contributions beyond being data points are often overlooked. Another Hidden REF winner, in the citizen science category, involved 18 street children and young people from Ghana, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe who, for more than three years, worked as researchers for a project hosted by the University of Dundee, UK.
