Measuring What Matters: An Introduction to Research Impact Online
Research impact extends beyond citation counts. It reflects how your work shapes your field, informs practice, and contributes to broader communities. As there is an increasing emphasis on demonstrating impact, it’s essential for researchers to understand how to measure their work and present those measures responsibly.
This introductory workshop will provide participants with a foundation in research impact assessment and the responsible use of metrics. Participants will explore how to locate and interpret key impact indicators, including article-level, author-level, and journal-level metrics, through tools such as Journal Citation Reports, Scopus, and Web of Science. Participants will also be introduced to altmetrics, which capture the broader influence of research beyond traditional citations.
