Clarivate Unveils Comprehensive Framework to Evaluate the Societal Impact of Research

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:

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.
