Finding the best structure to support impact - case of IDC at Ghent UniversityEsther De Smet

��

The document outlines the two stage approach taken by Ghent University to establish interdisciplinary research consortia aimed at societal impact (IDC). In stage one, five social science consortia were formed with dedicated coordinators and underwent research assessments focusing on strategy, quality, and impact. In stage two, the social science consortia transitioned to IDCs with open-ended coordinator contracts and were required to create impact plans. The university also began accepting applications for new IDCs and evaluated consortia and coordinators qualitatively based on organization, interdisciplinarity, and impact. The goal was to better support research with societal impact through dedicated structures, people, and assessment procedures.

Digital Scholarly PracticesEsther De Smet

Digital scholarly practices are evolving. Researchers now have online presences and share information via social media platforms, which can increase visibility and citations. Metrics now track how research is discussed online, through mentions on platforms like Twitter. While these "alternative metrics" or "altmetrics" correlate with citations, social media discussions do not necessarily predict traditional citation impact. Altmetrics provide additional contextual information about research impact and engagement beyond citations alone.
