Demonstrating real world impact through your research

Friday, 23 November 2018 (11am to 2pm)
Venue: Ground Floor Meeting Room, Office of the Vice-Provost (Research), UCL, 2 Taviton Street, London, WC1H 0BT

Workshop convened by Emerald Publishing: A global publisher linking research and practice

It's not always easy for academics and researchers to see the impact of their work. Traditional markers of influence, such as citations, are not sufficient to tell the story of impact. This interactive session will be an opportunity for Early Career Researchers to discuss with a panel of experienced publishers how we can work together to challenge simplistic and outdated approaches to impact, shifting beyond metrics and celebrating impact of all shapes and sizes. We'd also be keen to discuss the barriers that ECRs face when trying to demonstrate the impact of their research, and talk through some of initiatives that Emerald has introduced to help promote the impact of research beyond traditional metrics.

Workshop leaders: Steve Lodge, Head of Commercial Development, Research Service and Juliet Harrison, Head of Business, Management and Strategy Publishing, Emerald Publishing
