Abstract

This unique addition to the Success in Research series addresses the importance of understanding and achieving impact for the purposes of gaining research funding and reporting achieved impact for the Research Excellence Framework (REF). The book includes contributions from researchers and researcher developers who feel that impact is ill-defined and poorly understood despite its prevalence in policy documents, websites and institutional activities. This succinct and cohesive text draws on the expert contributors' collective research practice, knowledge and experience. Using a variety of examples, boxed activities and highlighted reflection points, this practical guide covers the following key areas: The meaning of impact in relation to research ; How the Impact Agenda fits with attitudes and ethics that motivate research ; The different characterisations of research impact and when impact is apparent ; How impact can be planned into proposals, evaluated and evidenced ; The skills needed to be an impactful researcher ; How impact can be supported through Knowledge Exchange and effective partnerships.This is a must-have guide for anyone seeking to understand and achieve impact in their own research.

Abstract

The impact agenda is set to shape the way in which social scientists prioritise the work they choose to pursue, the research methods they use and how they publish their findings over the coming decade, but how much is currently known about how social science research has made a mark on society? Based on a three year research project studying the impact of 360 UK-based academics on business, government and civil society sectors, this groundbreaking new book undertakes the most thorough analysis yet of how academic research in the social sciences achieves public policy impacts, contributes to economic prosperity, and informs public understanding of policy issues as well as economic and social changes. The Impact of the Social Sciences addresses and engages with key issues, including:- identifying ways to conceptualise and model impact in the social sciences - developing more sophisticated ways to measure academic and external impacts of social science research - explaining how impacts from individual academics, research units and universities can be improved. This book is essential reading for researchers, academics and anyone involved in discussions about how to improve the value and impact of funded research. Bron : http://www.uk.sagepub.com
