In addition to academic impact, researchers are increasingly concerned with understanding and demonstrating the practical impact of research outside academia. Several frameworks capturing key impact types have been developed based on project experiences, expert opinions, and surveys. This empirical study seeks to contribute to this development by identifying impact types documented in 6,882 case studies submitted to impact evaluation groups in Australia (Engagement and Impact Assessment) and the United Kingdom (Research Excellence Framework). The results of text mining indicate three emerging impact types that extend existing frameworks in terms of the recognition of new opportunities, the length of use, and experience improvement, thereby allowing a variety of researchers, not just those who address popular, short-term, and instrumental issues, to understand and demonstrate their practice impact.

除了学术影响之外，研究人员越来越关心理解和展示学术以外研究的实际影响。根据项目经验、专家意见和调查，已经开发了几个捕捉关键影响类型的框架。这项实证研究旨在通过确定提交给澳大利亚（参与和影响评估）和英国（卓越研究框架）影响评估小组的 6,882 个案例研究中记录的影响类型来促进这一发展。文本挖掘的结果表明了三种新兴的影响类型，它们在识别新机会、使用时长和体验改进方面扩展了现有框架，从而允许各种研究人员，而不仅仅是那些解决流行的、短期的、和工具问题，
