Research impact refers to the effects and outcomes of research activities on society, the economy, policy-making, technology, and public perception. This includes both the direct and indirect benefits that research has on various stakeholders and the wider community. Research impact can be measured in various ways, such as citations, collaborations, dissemination of findings, policy changes, and societal changes. Understanding research impact is essential for assessing the value and relevance of research efforts and for guiding future research priorities.
