Academic quality, league tables, and public policy: A cross-national analysis of university ranking systems (2005, background): “Analysis of the UK data (Smith et al. 2000) also suggests that there is no statistically significant difference between most UK universities in the pattern of graduate employment; perhaps only the top 10 and bottom 10 universities have a meaningful difference in their results.”
Employability skills initiatives in higher education: what effects do they have on graduate labour market outcomes? (2009, background): “For example, in a study of 1993 leavers from pre‐1992 universities, Smith, McKnight and Naylor ( 2000 ) find that the probability of student‐leavers being employed six months after graduation is positively related to the class of degree and is also strongly influenced by the subject studied, measure”
Graduate Employability, 'Soft Skills' Versus 'Hard' Business Knowledge: A European Study (2008, background): “…abilities to adapt their and use personal and academic skills (Knight and Yorke, 2004) to more tangible educational outcome measures that associate graduate employability with employment under the auspices of the UK’s ‘first destination’ statistics (Smith et al., 2000; Harvey et al., 2002).”

Do employability skills really matter in the UK graduate labour market? The case of business and management graduates (2011, background): “Furthermore, there are deep concerns that widening participation alone fails to remedy entrenched social disadvantage (for example, Purcell et al. 2005, 2006; Chevalier 2007; Smith et al. 2000).”
The impact of engagement with extracurricular activities on the student experience and graduate outcomes for widening participation populations (2011, background): “Researchers have found that social class impacts on students’ participation and success in the job market (Smith et al., 2000; Smith and Naylor, 2001).”
Data Envelopment Analysis and Its Application to the Measurement of Efficiency in Higher Education. (2006, unknown): “This observation of a significant difference in efficiency between the lowest and highest performing HEIs has been observed elsewhere using alternative output measures and techniques of analysis (Smith et al 2000; Smith & Naylor 2001).”
Some Evidence that Women are More Mobile than Men: Gender Differences in U.K. Graduate Migration Behavior (2007, unknown): “We combine this information with data from the 1996 U.K. Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), which provides detailed rankings across the U.K.’s 190 higher education institutions according to their research quality (Smith et al. 2000).”
