Canadian approaches to research impact and its assessment

Research Evaluation, 2025, vol. 34, 597-606

Abstract: Canada does not have a national system wide assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of academic research. We do not have a Research Excellence Framework such as in the United Kingdom. Yet Canadian researchers, funders and institutions are interested in research impact, particularly the methods and processes for generating impacts to complement methods for assessing impact. At its heart, Canada is moving to combine its expertise in ‘how do we get to impact?’ with international expertise in ‘did we get to impact?’.
