Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to question the dominance ofcitation metrics in the evaluation of the impact of researchand prompt debate on how to evaluate impact in differentcontexts.Whilst recognising the continued relevance and importance ofcitation as a measure of impact, the paper highlights how thismeasure overshadows all other types of impact (on practice,teaching, public policy, society) and, in turn, has the potentialto distort academic research practice.
