Traditionally, research impact has been measured by counting
citations, and citation-based indicators, such as impact factors.
But in the last few years there has been increasing pressure on
research and higher education institutions to move beyond citation
metrics, and look instead at different forms of impact - at real
world impact.Scholarly impact expert Elaine Lasda brings together a
cast of innovative contributors from a variety of sectors to look
at how impact is measured in ways that go beyond citations in
peer-reviewed journal articles. With case studies from publishers,
museums, scientific centers and government agencies, the
contributors show how using a different mix of traditional
bibliometrics, newer altmetrics, and other new measures can provide
vital information to support the mission and vision of their
organizations. For librarians and information professionals, it is
becoming increasingly more important to be able to provide
expertise on research impact, influence, productivity and prestige.
This exciting new book shows readers how to clarify the importance
and relevance of organizational research output, and therefore
increase their professional value. With the growing sophistication
of research impact analysis, the need for "impact metric literacy"
is rising, and this book is a helpful tool for those looking to
improve their understanding of research impact.
