Research impact has various definitions. Broadly, it is all the diverse ways that research benefits individuals, organisations and nations through increasing the effectiveness of public services and policy, improving quality of life and health, or economic benefits. Research impact refers to the influence and significance of research in the academic community and beyond.
Citation metrics serve as valuable tools for researchers, helping them identify significant publications and influential authors within a particular field. Using citation metrics, researchers can gain insights into the significance and influence of scholarly works and individuals within their respective domains.
