The current preoccupation with scholarly impact, generally defined in terms
of properties of citation, has become one of global magnitude. The
scholarly impact agenda has permeated all aspects of scholastic life from
deciding what to research based on likelihood of citation (authors and
schools), where to publish based on journal impact factor (authors and
schools), and what types of manuscripts to publish to drive up journal
impact factor (reviewers/editors), to how to develop faculty resources and
design incentive systems (schools). Thus, there seems to be a widespread
consensus on the need for doing impactful research and for developing
frameworks, along with appropriate indicators and valid metrics, for more
effectively evaluating research impact at the author, journal, and
institutional levels. Yet, aside from the ongoing debates surrounding the
the utility of citation metrics and the application of quality lists, what
scholarly impact means, how it manifest itself, how it should be measured,
and how it can be cultivated has received surprisingly sparse integrative
attention.
We believe that research is too important to study its impact with only a
single approach, from a single perspective, either qualitative or
quantitative. Research usually has multiple goals, and it is therefore, more
compelling and reasonable to value its impact by multiple approaches at
multiple levels of analysis. Consequently, the purpose of this track is to
reorient and refocus the debate by taking stock of ongoing research, and
stimulating new research questions, into the meaning, manifestations, and
origins of impactful scholarship from multiple perspectives, including,
authors, articles, journals, schools and consumers of research articles
(e.g. funders, industry and students). We encourage submissions from
multiple theoretical perspectives, and are open to contributions from
diverse methodological traditions that inform, extend, and reshape the
debate on what makes authors, articles, journals, and schools impactful.
