CARL Bibliometrics and Research Impact Canadian Community of Practice April Call – Beyond Metrics: Knowledge Mobilization and Research Impact

Date: April 9

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET

Registration

We invite those across Canada interested in bibliometrics and research impact indicators, to join this month’s call of the CARL Canadian Bibliometrics and Research Impact (BRI) Community of Practice. Invited speakers are Alison Moore (Simon Fraser University) & Lupin Battersby (Simon Fraser University).

To increase the speed and benefits of research having a positive impact on society, researchers need robust and strategic knowledge mobilization plans. The Tri-agencies require knowledge mobilization and/or research impact statements that demonstrate feasibility and capability and go beyond traditional outputs. In this presentation, led by the SFU Knowledge Mobilization Hub, we will explore the essential elements needed for a good knowledge mobilization plan (who, what, why, how, and so what). We will address the intersection of knowledge mobilization and research assessment and how librarians can play a role in supporting knowledge mobilization. We will conclude this session with an interactive discussion of strategies, tools, metrics, and indicators others have used to support researchers with knowledge mobilization and research impact assessment.  

This session will be recorded.
