Has investment in research & experimental development (R&D) yielded tangible benefits to individuals, communities, organizations and economies across diverse areas such as health, climate change and technological advancement?
Funders, governments, and institutions across the globe are increasingly expected to demonstrate the societal impact of research investments, particularly in areas such as health, climate change, and technological progress. However, there is currently no established framework for such an evaluation.
To meet this challenge, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)TM has developed a framework to evaluate and visualize the societal impact of research in a responsible manner. Read the report to learn more about this innovative framework in more detail.
The societal impact framework will be incorporated into our forthcoming Web of Science Research IntelligenceTM platform—a next-generation software solution powered by AI that will empower researchers to accelerate breakthroughs and research institutions to better measure and showcase the impact of their research.
