Demonstrate Your Impact: Home

Demonstrating the impact of your scholarly agenda and scholarly outputs is a nuanced art. There are multi-faceted ways to measure your work's impact, and a myriad of ways to present it. You can use both quantitative and qualitative measures in demonstrating impact. In the era of our constant technological connectedness, there are even more ways to capture evidence of impact.
