Eighteen subject areas were rated top ten in the UK, whilst fourteen subject areas were rated the best in Scotland. The 2008 Times RAE table ranks according to an 'average' score across all departments, of which Glasgow posted an average of 2.6/4. The overall average placed Glasgow as the thirty-third-highest of all UK universities, perhaps reflecting the broadness of the university's activities. In terms of research 'power', however, Glasgow placed fourteenth in the UK and second in Scotland.<ref>{{cite web |author=Scotland |url=http://www.gla.ac.uk/research/aimsassessmentandpolicies/researchassessment/ |title=Glasgow University Research Assessment |publisher=Gla.ac.uk |access-date=22 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605030314/http://www.gla.ac.uk/research/aimsassessmentandpolicies/researchassessment/ |archive-date=5 June 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/research/ourresearch/assessment/RAE/Pages/Power-Table.aspx|title=RAE08 Power Table|website=www1.plymouth.ac.uk|access-date=22 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170212104046/http://www1.plymouth.ac.uk/research/ourresearch/assessment/RAE/Pages/Power-Table.aspx|archive-date=12 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
