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. ? The Success in Research
series, from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short,
authoritative and accessible guides on key areas of professional
and research development. Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase
of what you really need to know, these practical and supportive
books cover a range of areas from presenting research to achieving
impact, and from publishing journal articles to developing
proposals. They are essential reading for any student or researcher
interested in developing their skills and broadening their
professional and methodological knowledge in an academic
context.
