QUANTITATING THE IMPACT OF CLINICAL AND BASIC SCIENCE RESEARCH POSTER #2469 M. O. GORDON, C. SARLI, E. K. DUBINSKY, E. LONG, C. LA RUE, M. A. KASS, AND THE OCULAR HYPERTENSION TREATMENT STUDY (OHTS) GROUP OPHTHALMOLOGY AND VISUAL SCIENCES, BECKER MEDICAL LIBRARY, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI PURPOSE:To quantitate the impact of biomedical research on generation of new knowledge and change in clinical practice. Governments world-wide are demanding quantifiable outcome measures of research impact. METHODS FOR DOCUMENTING IMPACT CONCLUSION OHTS demonstrates that citation counts alone are inadequate to assess research impact. Impact should also include research output, knowledge transfer, and clinical implementation. To help document research impact, an interactive website was developed: Assessing the Impact of Research. (http://becker.wustl.edu/impact/assessment/index.html). Documentation of research impact will be a useful tool for progress reports, grant applications, and promotion dossiers.
