Co-Creation Beyond Academia

Sonya Grier
"Traditional approaches to impact employ bibliometric measures and focus on the creation and use of journal articles by scholarly audiences, an important but incomplete part of the academic process. [We] recommend expanding the strategies and measures to include process assessments for specific stakeholders across the entire course of effects, from the creation, awareness, and use of knowledge to societal impression. This relational engagement approach involves the co-creation of research with audiences beyond academia.”
