Changing the Culture: Increasing Scientific Impact
The Scientific Impact Communication Initiative resulted in practical guidelines designed to help researchers increase the visibility and usefulness of their work through better sharing and translation of research.
The Scientific Impact Communication Initiative, now completed, set out to strengthen how research is shared, translated, and connected to real-world use.
Beyond Citations
Scientific impact goes far beyond citations. It includes collaboration, influence, and the ability to spark change outside the lab. As the team concludes, meaningful progress often comes from interdisciplinary work, something no single researcher can achieve alone.
Practical Guidelines
The initiative resulted in a set of clear, practical guidelines designed to help researchers increase the visibility and usefulness of their work. They outline:
- How data and tools can be shared
- How summaries can make research accessible
- How to reach audiences inside and outside RISE
Availability
The initiative is now complete, and the full report is available on request.
