The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) has long been a measure of a journal's prominence, yet its reliability and significance have sparked debates within scholarly circles. This blog underscores the ongoing discourse surrounding the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and the necessity for a multifaceted approach to evaluating scholarly research: https://lnkd.in/gUDEv9UX   #ScholComm #Discourse #Research #JIF

Great post from our friends at MetroPolis looking at the value - both existing and potential - of the Areas of Research Interest model, highlighting research done by our very own Alex Waddington. Lots of food for thought on how more value can be gained from ARIs - with the Government's need to tackle a wide range of policy challenges in mind as well as REF29. As ever, do get in touch with team Showrunner to talk about how we can help researchers chart a path to policy impact. https://lnkd.in/eB_5UKtf

🌞 This summer we highlight the 🔟 principles outlined in the #EULIFEcharter, which we deem essential for #ResearchInstitutes to flourish, achieve ground-breaking discoveries and fulfil their key role in the R&I ecosystem. 👨👨👧👧Principle 10 is SOCIETY: engaging with society through media, public activities, school programs, and citizen science initiatives. #EULIFEinstitutes aspire to apply these principles and to inspire other #RPOs to adhere to them. The charter also aims to encourage critical reflection about the structure and governance of research organisations, to identify room for development, and set a precedent for new institutes.   Read the full charter here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d9naQVbp

Vikas John and Priya Singh from the IIHS Research Programme discuss the ethical challenges of conducting research, particularly for researchers in the Global South funded by institutions in the Global North. They argue for approaches that consider the local realities and power dynamics of the Global South.
