1 Define your impact goals

Before you start measuring your research impact, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how you will know if you have succeeded. Your impact goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). For example, you may want to influence a certain policy area, reach a specific audience, or generate a certain amount of media coverage within a given timeframe.

2 Choose appropriate indicators and methods

Depending on your impact goals, you will need to select suitable indicators and methods to measure your research impact on policy. Indicators are quantitative or qualitative measures that show the extent or quality of your impact, such as citations, downloads, mentions, feedback, or testimonials. Methods are the tools or techniques that you use to collect and analyze data on your indicators, such as surveys, interviews, case studies, or bibliometrics. You should choose indicators and methods that are relevant, valid, reliable, and feasible for your research context and purpose.

3 Use multiple sources of evidence

One of the challenges of measuring research impact on policy is that it is often complex, nonlinear, and unpredictable. Therefore, you should not rely on a single source of evidence to capture your impact, but use multiple sources that can provide different perspectives and insights. For example, you can combine quantitative data from bibliometrics or web analytics with qualitative data from interviews or testimonials to show both the reach and the depth of your impact. You can also use different types of evidence, such as outputs, outcomes, and impacts, to show the different stages and levels of your impact.

4 Communicate your impact story

Once you have collected and analyzed your data, you need to communicate your research impact on policy in a clear and compelling way. You should craft your impact story as a narrative that explains how your research has made a difference to policy, practice, or society, and what evidence supports your claims. You should also tailor your impact story to your target audience, using appropriate language, format, and channels. For example, you can use infographics, videos, podcasts, blogs, or policy briefs to convey your impact story to different stakeholders.

5 Reflect and improve your impact practice

Finally, you should not treat measuring your research impact on policy as a one-off activity, but as an ongoing process of reflection and improvement. You should monitor and evaluate your impact activities regularly, and use the feedback and lessons learned to refine your impact goals, indicators, methods, and communication strategies. You should also seek opportunities to collaborate and learn from other researchers, policymakers, practitioners, or intermediaries who are involved in or interested in your research impact.

Data and numbers can be readily available in education because of the testing. It is essential that educational leaders use this data responsibly. They are conducting statistical analysis to determine if changes occurred and the effect of the change. Leaders also need to support their staff in interpreting numbers. Failure to do so can result in wasted money and wasted instructional time.
