The research excellence framework (Ref) results are out, and it seems like everyone has a positive story to tell – hooray! The even better, yet surprising, news is that #REF2014 is trending on Twitter.

If, like me, you’ve struggled to keep up with what’s being said about the Ref due to the flurry of tweets from every university and their individual departments flaunting their success, I’ve collated some of the more amusing, cynical and reflective tweets from the day so far.

Share your reaction to #REF2014 in the comments below or tweet us @gdnhighered.
