Impact assessment is embedded in many national and international research rating systems. Most applications use the Research Impact Pathway to track inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes of an invention or initiative to assess impact beyond scholarly contributions to an academic research field (i.e., benefits to environment, society, economy and culture). Existing approaches emphasise easy to attribute 'hard' impacts, and fail to include a range of 'soft' impacts that are less easy to attribute, yet are often a dominant part of the impact mix. Here, we develop an inclusive 3-part impact mapping approach. We demonstrate its application using an environmental initiative.
影响评估嵌入在许多国家和国际研究评级系统中。大多数应用程序使用研究影响途径来跟踪发明或计划的投入、活动、产出和结果，以评估超出学术研究领域的学术贡献的影响（即，对环境、社会、经济和文化的益处）。现有的方法强调易于归因的“硬”影响，而未能包括一系列较难归因的“软”影响，但这些影响往往是影响组合的主要部分。在这里，我们开发了一种包容性的三部分影响映射方法。我们使用一个环境倡议来演示其应用。
