Impact is an increasingly significant part of academia internationally, both in centralised assessment processes (for example, UK) and funder drives towards knowledge mobilisation (for example, Canada). However, narrowly focused measurement-centric approaches can encourage short-termism, and assessment paradigms can overlook the scale of effort needed to convert research into effect. With no ‘one size fits all’ template possible for impact, it is essential that the ability to comprehend and critically assess impact is strengthened within the research sector. In this paper we reflect on these challenges and offer the concept of impact literacy as a means to support impact at both individual and institutional levels. Opportunities to improve impact literacy are also discussed.

建立研究影响素养的概念

在集中评估过程（例如英国）和资助者推动知识动员（例如加拿大）中，影响力是国际学术界越来越重要的一部分。然而，狭隘的以测量为中心的方法可能会鼓励短期主义，而评估范式可能会忽视将研究转化为效果所需的努力程度。由于没有“一刀切”的影响模板，因此在研究部门内加强理解和批判性评估影响的能力至关重要。在本文中，我们反思了这些挑战，并提出了影响素养的概念，作为支持个人和机构层面影响的一种手段。还讨论了提高影响力素养的机会。
