This guide provides faculty and students resources related to research impact. It also includes background information on the subject and responsible practices. The research impact services guide is intended to serve as an overview of research impact. It should be of particular interest to faculty and graduate students publishing research.
The FGCU library offers faculty members services to help measure and maximize their research impact. This guide provides information about what research impact is, different forms of measuring impact (bibliometrics, altmetrics), ideas for maximizing your impact, and accepted rules for evaluating research. This guide also provides an Impact Check survey to help you determine how you're doing with your impact.
Your research impact librarian is happy to help you with your impact journey. Together, we can measure your impact and create a plan to increase your research's visibility. Please reach out with any questions or schedule a consultation.
The FGCU library will be offering 3 workshops about research impact in the Fall 2024 semester. They will all be 20 to 30 minutes in length and will be offered twice. You do not have to attend the first session to understand the others; they will overlap slightly in scope. Check back later to register for the second two workshops!
FGCU Librarians are available to answer questions via chat most hours that the library is open. If FGCU Librarians are not available, you may be connected with librarian at another location in Florida.
