Why develop an Impact Service? Library well positioned –Research Outputs & Institutional Repository Funding environment New Strategic Plan –Objectives around publications & citations –Monitoring and reporting Drivers
10
Who will benefit? Individual Researchers Support Funding / Grant applications Performance Reviews Promotion Academic CVs Senior Management Institutional performance / strategy Research Trends Recruitment Benchmarking Drivers
