The primary goal of impact in higher education research and scholarship is to solve real-world problems by applying knowledge and expertise to address societal challenges.

Academic impact is not a type of impact in higher education research and scholarship. The other options, economic impact, social impact, and environmental impact, are all recognized types of impact.

Bibliometric analysis, citation analysis, and altmetric analysis are all common methods for measuring the impact of higher education research and scholarship.

Engaging with stakeholders, disseminating research findings, and collaborating with other researchers are all strategies for enhancing the impact of higher education research and scholarship.

Impact is one of several criteria for assessing the quality of higher education research and scholarship. Other criteria include originality, rigor, and significance.

Increased tax revenue, job creation, and increased productivity are all examples of economic impact from higher education research and scholarship.

Improved health outcomes, reduced crime rates, and increased civic engagement are all examples of social impact from higher education research and scholarship.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased energy efficiency, and improved waste management are all examples of environmental impact from higher education research and scholarship.

The long-term nature of impact, the difficulty in isolating the impact of research from other factors, and the lack of standardized metrics for measuring impact are all challenges to measuring the impact of higher education research and scholarship.

Measuring the impact of higher education research and scholarship can help to improve the quality of research, justify the investment in research, and inform policy and practice.

Stakeholders can help to identify research priorities, disseminate research findings, and evaluate the impact of research.

Universities can provide resources to support research, create an environment that encourages collaboration, and help to disseminate research findings.

Governments can provide funding for research, create policies that support research, and help to disseminate research findings.

Industry can provide funding for research, collaborate with researchers on research projects, and help to disseminate research findings.

The public can provide feedback on research priorities, help to disseminate research findings, and advocate for policies that support research.
