Research-impact nexuses and thinking beyond the framework

Internet publication : Blog

Through introducing the idea of ‘research-impact nexus’ I signpost some important areas of impact that are generative and valued within academic communities but (may be) difficult to compress into the time-frames, contributory claims, and material evidence of benefit that are often associated with impact narratives ‘optimized’ for assessment purposes. Note: this piece is based on Oancea, A. (accepted for publication) ‘ Beyond the frame: hard-to-assess research-impact nexuses in the social sciences and the humanities’, in: Ochsner, M. and Bulaitis, Z. (accepted for publication) Accountability in Academic Life: European Perspectives on Societal Impact Evaluation. Edward Elgar.
