Demands on publicly funded scientific research to yield academic and societal impact have been commonplace for some time. Research communities, university administrators, and policy-makers are looking to impact assessments and impact tool kits to better communicate the value of scholarly work, increase collaboration with nonacademic partners, and achieve a broad range of socio-economic benefits. Impact assessment frameworks are occupied with documenting the effects of science on a large number of variables. However, the participation and hosting of academic events have not been included in most frameworks. In this scoping review, we demonstrate that academic events are an important vehicle for academic and societal value creation. The review presents the main trends in the literature by categorizing the impact of academic events into four analytical categories and 11 subcategories. By hosting and participating in academic events, scholars maximize the uptake and circulation of research findings as well as promote knowledge-sharing and agenda-setting with potential impact on the academic community and society at large. Most of the reviewed studies focus on clinical research and computer science. However, the review also demonstrates that the impact of academic events is currently underexplored. This review provides a first step toward a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of academic events.

学术事件的影响-文献综述

一段时间以来，对公共科研经费产生学术和社会影响的要求就很普遍了。研究社区，大学管理者和政策制定者正在寻求影响评估和影响工具包，以更好地交流学术工作的价值，增加与非学术伙伴的合作并实现广泛的社会经济效益。影响评估框架用于记录科学对大量变量的影响。但是，大多数框架并未包括学术活动的参与和举办。在此范围界定审查中，我们证明了学术活动是创造学术和社会价值的重要工具。这篇综述通过将学术事件的影响分为四个分析类别和11个子类别来介绍文学的主要趋势。通过举办和参加学术活动，学者们可以最大程度地利用和传播研究成果，并促进知识共享和议程设置，从而对整个学术界和整个社会产生潜在影响。大部分经过审查的研究都集中于临床研究和计算机科学。但是，该审查还表明，目前尚未充分研究学术活动的影响。这篇综述为全面了解学术活动的影响提供了第一步。学者们最大程度地利用和传播研究成果，并促进知识共享和议程设置，从而对整个学术界和整个社会产生潜在影响。大部分经过审查的研究都集中于临床研究和计算机科学。但是，该审查还表明，目前尚未充分研究学术活动的影响。这篇综述为全面了解学术活动的影响提供了第一步。学者们最大程度地利用和传播研究成果，并促进知识共享和议程设置，从而对整个学术界和整个社会产生潜在影响。大部分经过审查的研究都集中于临床研究和计算机科学。但是，该审查还表明，目前尚未充分研究学术活动的影响。这篇综述为全面了解学术活动的影响提供了第一步。
