How research data deliver non-academic impacts: A secondary analysis of UK Research Excellence Framework impact case studies

Eric A. Jensen et al.

Summary: This study examines the contribution of research data to non-academic impacts through analyzing high-scoring impact case studies from the UK's REF. The findings reveal that the most prevalent type of impact driven by research data is related to practice, followed by impacts on government. It is also highlighted that research data alone rarely generate impacts and necessitate additional interventions such as analysis, curation, and product development.

Lessons from bright-spots for advancing knowledge exchange at the interface of marine science and policy

Denis B. Karcher et al.

Summary: Evidence-informed decision-making is increasingly important for addressing marine environmental issues. Knowledge exchange between marine scientists and decision-makers can facilitate this, but there are barriers to overcome. Analyzing 25 successful cases of knowledge exchange between marine science and policy, we have identified methods and key factors for improving knowledge exchange.

Is this what success looks like? Mismatches between the aims, claims, and evidence used to demonstrate impact from knowledge exchange processes at the interface of environmental science and policy

Denis B. Karcher et al.

Summary: The study found that success in knowledge exchange at the interface of environmental science and policy comes in diverse forms, with a discrepancy between the ambitious goals studies aim for and the more modest achievements they evidence or claim. This indicates a need to better align goals with evaluation measures.

A synthesis of the frameworks available to guide evaluations of research impact at the interface of environmental science, policy and practice

Elena Louder et al.

Summary: Evaluating the impacts of environmental science on policy and practice is challenging due to the diverse forms and protracted timeframes of impacts. Traditional academic metrics are inadequate for capturing these impacts, leading to the development of evaluation frameworks to guide the assessment process. These frameworks aim to help environmental scientists demonstrate the impact of their work in funding applications and career progression, contributing to an improved relationship between environmental science, policy, and practice.

Ten Considerations for Research Funders Seeking to Enhance Knowledge Exchange and the Impact of Marine Science on Policy and Practice

Christopher Cvitanovic et al.

Summary: Research funders can support the integration of marine science into policy and practice, but there is a lack of guidance on specific actions they can take. A case study of the Lenfest Ocean Program explored the impacts of funded research projects, highlighting the complexities of research impact and the ways LOP has supported these impacts. Researchers should consider various factors when seeking to enhance the impact of marine research on policy and practice.

Are research-policy engagement activities informed by policy theory and evidence? 7 challenges to the UK impact agenda

Anna Hopkins et al.

Summary: Research impact on policy and societal change, and strategies to enhance research-policy engagement, are challenging to conceptualize and measure. Funders need to identify ways to define success in research-policy initiatives, categorized into different approaches. However, the lack of clear evidence and explicit aims from organizations makes it difficult for funders and researchers to determine where to invest their energy.

Evaluating impact from research: A methodological framework

M. S. Reed et al.

Summary: This study provides a new definition of research impact and impact evaluation, develops a typology of research impact evaluation designs, and proposes a methodological framework to guide evaluations of research impact. The subjective nature of impacts is recognized, leading to the identification of five types of impact evaluation design. Using the proposed guidance, researchers, funders, and stakeholders can select suitable evaluation designs and methods to evidence the impact of research from any discipline.
