Clarivate Unveils Comprehensive Framework to Evaluate the Societal Impact of Research
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) has unveiled a comprehensive framework for evaluating the societal impact of research. The approach, detailed in a new report by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)™, addresses the growing demand for demonstrating the benefits of R&D investments across various sectors of society.
The framework categorizes societal needs into eight facets: Political & Policy, Legal & Governance, Economic, Human Capital, Medical, Social & Cultural, Technological and Environmental. It aims to balance qualitative and quantitative approaches, extending beyond traditional quantitative indicators.
To address the challenge of long timeframes between research discovery and societal application, the framework incorporates both lagging and leading indicators. This new approach will be integrated into the upcoming Web of Science Research Intelligence™ platform.
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) ha presentato un quadro complessivo per valutare l'impatto sociale della ricerca. L'approccio, dettagliato in un nuovo rapporto dell'Istituto per l'Informazione Scientifica (ISI)™, risponde alla crescente richiesta di dimostrare i benefici degli investimenti in R&D in vari settori della società.
Il quadro categorizza i bisogni sociali in otto aspetti: Politico & Politiche, Legale & Governance, Economico, Capitale Umano, Medico, Sociale & Culturale, Tecnologico ed Ambientale. Mira a bilanciare approcci qualitativi e quantitativi, superando gli indicatori quantitativi tradizionali.
Per affrontare la sfida dei lunghi intervalli di tempo tra la scoperta della ricerca e la sua applicazione sociale, il quadro incorpora sia indicatori di ritardo che indicatori anticipatori. Questo nuovo approccio sarà integrato nella prossima piattaforma Web of Science Research Intelligence™.
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) ha presentado un marco integral para evaluar el impacto social de la investigación. El enfoque, detallado en un nuevo informe del Instituto para la Información Científica (ISI)™, aborda la creciente demanda de demostrar los beneficios de las inversiones en I+D en varios sectores de la sociedad.
El marco categoriza las necesidades sociales en ocho facetas: Político y Políticas, Legal y Gobernanza, Económico, Capital Humano, Médico, Social y Cultural, Tecnológico y Ambiental. Su objetivo es equilibrar enfoques cualitativos y cuantitativos, y va más allá de los indicadores cuantitativos tradicionales.
Para abordar el desafío de los largos intervalos de tiempo entre el descubrimiento de la investigación y su aplicación social, el marco incorpora tanto indicadores rezagados como adelantados. Este nuevo enfoque será integrado en la próxima plataforma Web of Science Research Intelligence™.
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT)는 연구의 사회적 영향을 평가하기 위한 포괄적인 프레임워크를 공개했습니다. 이 접근 방식은 과학 정보 연구소(ISI)™의 새 보고서에 자세히 설명되어 있으며, 사회의 다양한 분야에서 R&D 투자 혜택을 입증해야 한다는 증가하는 요구를 다룹니다.
이 프레임워크는 사회적 요구를 여덟 가지 측면으로 분류합니다: 정치 및 정책, 법률 및 거버넌스, 경제, 인적 자본, 의학, 사회 및 문화, 기술, 환경. 질적 접근과 양적 접근의 균형을 맞추는 것을 목표로 하며, 전통적인 양적 지표를 넘어선 것입니다.
연구 발견과 사회적 응용 간의 긴 시간 간격 문제를 해결하기 위해, 프레임워크는 지연 지표와 선행 지표를 모두 통합합니다. 이 새로운 접근 방식은 다가오는 Web of Science Research Intelligence™ 플랫폼에 통합될 것입니다.
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) a dévoilé un cadre complet pour évaluer l'impact social de la recherche. L'approche, détaillée dans un nouveau rapport de l'Institut d'information scientifique (ISI)™, répond à la demande croissante de démontrer les avantages des investissements en R&D dans divers secteurs de la société.
Le cadre catégorise les besoins sociétaux en huit facettes : Politique & Politiques, Légal & Gouvernance, Économique, Capital Humain, Médical, Social & Culturel, Technologique et Environnemental. Il vise à équilibrer les approches qualitatives et quantitatives, allant au-delà des indicateurs quantitatifs traditionnels.
Pour relever le défi des longs délais entre la découverte de la recherche et son application sociétale, le cadre intègre à la fois des indicateurs retards et des indicateurs avancés. Cette nouvelle approche sera intégrée dans la prochaine plateforme Web of Science Research Intelligence™.
Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT) hat einen umfassenden Rahmen für die Bewertung der gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen von Forschung vorgestellt. Der Ansatz, der in einem neuen Bericht des Instituts für wissenschaftliche Informationen (ISI)™ detailliert beschrieben wird, beantwortet die wachsende Nachfrage nach der Demonstration der Vorteile von F&E-Investitionen in verschiedenen Bereichen der Gesellschaft.
Der Rahmen kategorisiert gesellschaftliche Bedürfnisse in acht Facetten: Politisch & Politiken, Rechtlich & Governance, Wirtschaftlich, Humankapital, Medizinisch, Sozial & Kulturell, Technologisch und Umwelt. Er zielt darauf ab, qualitative und quantitative Ansätze auszubalancieren und über traditionelle quantitative Indikatoren hinauszugehen.
Um die Herausforderung der langen Zeiträume zwischen Forschungserkenntnis und gesellschaftlicher Anwendung anzugehen, integriert der Rahmen sowohl verzögerte als auch führende Indikatoren. Dieser neue Ansatz wird in die bevorstehende Web of Science Research Intelligence™-Plattform integriert.
- Development of a comprehensive framework for evaluating societal impact of research
- Incorporation of the framework into the upcoming Web of Science Research Intelligence™ platform
- Addresses growing demand for demonstrating R&D investment benefits across various sectors
- None.
The report, A responsible framework for evaluating the societal impact of research, outlines a responsible and robust foundation for evaluation that goes beyond traditional scholarly output and includes a wide range of data sources. The new framework will be incorporated into the forthcoming Web of Science Research Intelligence™ platform.
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President, Research and Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate, said: "As global R&D spending continues to rise, funders, governments and institutions face increasing pressure to ensure that their investments provide measurable benefits in areas such as health, climate change and technological advancement. This new framework developed by the Institute for Scientific Information provides the tools necessary to meet this demand, allowing users to focus on specific research areas most relevant to their organization's mission and long-term objectives."
The framework developed by Clarivate addresses core challenges in evaluating societal impact:
- Recognizing the varied and complex needs of society: To address the diversity of societal needs, the framework categorizes societal needs into eight facets: Political & Policy, Legal & Governance, Economic, Human Capital, Medical, Social & Cultural, Technological and Environmental.
- Balancing qualitative and quantitative approaches: The framework will extend beyond traditional quantitative indicators to enable richer and more nuanced qualitative assessments.
- Navigating the long timeframes between research discovery to societal application: To mitigate the challenge of lengthy delays between research being conducted and any resultant societal benefits, the evaluation framework contains both lagging and leading indicators. Lagging indicators offer retrospective insights by analyzing past outputs and activities, while leading indicators are forward-looking and analyze recent signals that suggest the potential to generate future societal benefits.
Dr. Dmytro Filchenko, Senior Director, Research & Analytics at the Institute for Scientific Information said: "Our framework leverages our extensive resources of enriched data which goes beyond scholarly output and extends to our data on patents, clinical trials, policy documents, media publications, data sets, educational outputs, funding data and much more, as well as external data sources where necessary. This comprehensive approach ensures a nuanced and accurate assessment of societal impact across various domains."
Each of the eight facets in the framework contains multiple individual metrics, allowing for a detailed and customizable evaluation. The overall societal impact for each facet will be presented responsibly in a Societal Impact Profile™ with the underlying individual metrics available to support transparency and more granular analyses. This will allow Web of Science Research Intelligence platform users to tailor the evaluation to their specific needs.
Notes to editors:
The forthcoming Web of Science Research Intelligence platform is a next-generation software solution powered by AI that will empower researchers to accelerate breakthroughs and research institutions to better measure and showcase the impact of their research.
