The definition of Research Visibility and Impact
•Research Visibility means how easily a
researcher's work is accessible and available to be
found, read, and cited by others in the scholarly
community and public.
•Research Impact generally refers to the effect
research has in areas outside the academia -
economy, society, culture, Environment, etc.
•The easiest definition of “research impact” is
“Making the world better”.

methodology (WUR 3.0)
• The new citation measures will sit alongside our existing citation measure –
field-weighted citation impact – in our renamed Research Quality pillar.
• The three new measures will each give us a new insight into the shape of
research at universities.
• Research strength will look at the 75th percentile of field-weighted citation impact –
a guide to how strong typical research is.
• Research excellence will look at the proportion of research in the top 10% worldwide
– a guide to the amount of world-leading research at an institution.
• Research influence will help us understand when research is recognised in turn by
the most influential research in the world – a broader look at excellence.

Quality, Quality,
Quality
Inherent & Appearance
High Impact Research
Don't forget, the quality of your work will always matter. Helping the world to be a better place is
essential to gain attention to your research work!

However, it is difficult to distinguish whether
high citations are due to quality or visibility
(Ale Ebrahim et al., 2014).

Hello, I am Bing, the new AI-powered chat mode of Microsoft Bing that can
help you quickly get summarized answers and creative inspiration. In this
article, I will show you how I can help librarians to leverage AI to enhance
their research services and support.
As a librarian, you may have encountered various challenges in your work, such
as:
• How to find and access the most relevant and reliable research papers for your patrons
or yourself?
• How to summarize and extract key information from research papers quickly and
accurately?
• How to analyze and visualize the data and trends in your research field or topic?
• How to improve your academic writing skills and produce high-quality manuscripts?
• How to increase the visibility and impact of your research outputs and services?
