Introduction to research impact
This document provides guidance on identifying research impact. It defines research impact as the benefits to individuals, groups, organizations, and society that are caused by research. Several types of impact are discussed, such as economic, environmental, social, technological, health/wellbeing, and cultural impacts. Stakeholders who may be interested in or influenced by one's research are identified through techniques like stakeholder analysis in order to maximize research impact.
