The Research Impact of the Jodrell Bank Observatory and Other Facilities affected by the UK Science Funding Cuts in 2025

The United Kingdom Research and Innovation body and the Science and Technology Facilities Council recently announced funding cuts to facilities at the Jodrell Bank Observatory, specifically the e-MERLIN network of radio telescopes as well as a few other facilities across the world like the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. These funding cuts have been extremely disturbing to the Astronomical community, as is evident from widespread news coverage about these cuts. Here we present a short analysis of the research impact e-MERLIN and the other affected facilities had in 2025 from a dataset consisting of every Astrophysics paper submitted to the arXiv during the year. This serves to help members of the community and all stakeholders make better sense of the research output of the facilities that are not being prioritised under the new budget.
