Planning for impact
Emerald
"It has become a truism that researchers are increasingly expected to think about the impact of their research. I’m defining impact here as 'the beneficial effects of research on society, beyond academia and academic peers'.
This expectation of impact is a result of both the growth in number and scale of international research assessment exercises – such as the Research Excellence Framework (REF) in the UK or the Engagement and Impact Assessment (E&I) in Australia – and funder requirements in grant applications."
NIHR
The NIHR have produced a comprehensive toolkit which can help you to plan for impact at the start of a research project – which will help you to outline how you will engage with research users to deliver impact from your research.
Research impact is an important topic in the research world. Use this guide to understand what impact means for you and your work, how to measure it, and get tips on sharing your article to increase its impact once it has been published.
