JISC

This project will examine the potential for encoding systematic and structured information on research impact in the context of the CERIF schema. The project will build on previous work on impact by producing a comprehensive set of indicators which will then be mapped both to the CERIF standard and the CERIF4REF schema created by the previous Readiness for REF (R4R) project. Work will be undertaken in conjunction with EUROCRIS to incorporate any necessary additions that are highlighted by this project into CERIF itself. The suggested set of indicators will then be tested against pre-existing research information and will be incorporated into the data models of live systems: these will form case studies to test the feasibility of the approach.
