Beskrivning

This book answers the question of how to create impact with academic research. Full of examples and practical advice, it empowers readers to design, conduct and disseminate impactful research that makes a real-world difference.

Introducing the Pathways to Impact Model, it explores the actors, interactions, intermediaries and outcomes involved in different pathways that generate impact. It also:

Examines the impact ecosystem and how engagement, governance and funding influence pathways to impact
Considers impact ethics and how to be mindful of ethical issues when demonstrating research impact
Offers hands-on guidance about how to write up persuasive case studies of research impact.

Looking beyond the dissemination of research findings to show how to translate knowledge for the benefit of society, this guide is essential for postgraduate students and researchers.
