Measuring research impact and engagement is a much debated topic in
the UK and internationally. This book is the first to provide a
critical review of the research impact agenda, situating it within
international efforts to improve research utilisation. Using
empirical data, it discusses research impact tools and processes
for key groups such as academics, research funders, 'knowledge
brokers' and research users, and considers the challenges and
consequences of incentivising and rewarding particular
articulations of research impact. It draws on wide ranging
qualitative data, combined with theories about the science-policy
interplay and audit regimes to suggest ways to improve research
impact.
Drawing on a detailed case study of Scotland's National Health
Service, this book argues that debates about citizen participation
in health systems are disproportionately dominated by techniques of
invited participation. A 'system's-eye' perspective, while often
well-intentioned, has blinded us to other standpoints for
understanding the complex relationship between publics and their
health systems. Publics and Their Health Systems takes a
'citizen's-eye' perspective, exploring not only conventional
invited participation, but also the realms of representative
democracy, contentious protest politics, and the micro-level
tactics used by individual citizens in their encounters with health
services. The book highlights more oppositional dynamics than those
which characterise much invited participation, and argues that
understanding these is a crucial step towards a more inclusive and
democratic health system.
