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.
