As a researcher, being able to measure and demonstrate how your research impacts a field or discipline, as well as society, is an important part of the scholarly process. Measuring or tracking your research impact can:
Measure the reach and impact of scholarly research at the article level.
Help track an individual researcher's impact in an academic discipline.
Measure the impact or importance of a journal in a field.
The Metrics Toolkit is a resource for researchers and evaluators that provides guidance for demonstrating and evaluating claims of research impact. With the Toolkit you can quickly understand what a metric means, how it is calculated, and if it’s good match for your impact question.
