Generating Research Impact
Prepare your researchers to succeed by showcasing the real-world impact of their research.Intro
Generating Research Impact is a three-course programme that guides researchers through the process of preparing, monitoring and communicating their research in terms of tangible and measurable societal benefit beyond the walls of academia.
From evaluating bibliometric indicators and applying ethical visibility strategies to communicating how research can affect everyday life, the programme provides a comprehensive roadmap to support researchers in moving beyond academic outputs to documenting the real-world impact of their research.
The programme supports researchers in:
- • interpreting researcher-level metrics and altmetrics for increased visibility
- • developing a personal research visibility plan
- • recognising the diversity of potential pathways to impact
- • identifying and articulating their institution’s long-term impact goals
- • setting personal KPIs to align with institutional impact strategies
- • writing a narrative impact statement to highlight the measurable societal benefit of their research
This programme is currently in development and scheduled to open for enrolment in August 2026.

This course helps researchers navigate the complexities of citation counts, journal metrics, and databases to ensure their work receives the credit it deserves.
Defining Research Impact outlines the importance of rethinking the impact of research beyond the walls of academia. This course is designed to give researchers the skills and knowledge they need to enhance the reach and application of their research in terms of tangible and measurable societal benefit.
Preparing for Research Impact provides a roadmap for researchers to clearly communicate the impact of their research beyond the walls of academia. Culminating in the drafting of a personal narrative impact statement, the course guides researchers through ways in which they can measure and communicate how their work can affect everyday life.
Who It’s For
These courses are designed for researchers with either published research or working research projects. The courses are relevant for researchers across all career stages who seek to develop their skills in communicating the wider societal value of their research. The courses are also relevant to research offices or institutional research support stakeholders tasked with communicating the wider value of their institution’s research output.
