• 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
Generating Research Impact includes the following courses:
What You’ll Learn
Maximising Your Research Visibility provides a clear and practical guide to understanding how research is discovered, read, shared, and evaluated within academia and beyond. 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.
