In a recent advice column for University Affairs, Letitia Henville discusses how academics can demonstrate their research impact through their tenure dossier. Henville offers strategies for showcasing the broader impact of their work, such as strategically tracing where research has appeared in policy documents, tracking the use of open data using inclusive platforms, providing context for publication metrics, and providing visualizations to demonstrate how work has shown growth over time. “Metrics aren’t self-evident: you need to show your reader how to understand them in the context of your discipline, your institution—even your individual goals and priorities as a researcher,” concludes Henville.
