"The impact and engagement agenda is growing in importance. It seems like a lot of extra work outside of core research, and I keep reading case studies that seem to have very vague metrics. The opportunity to follow a typical research pathway but, in the end, have tools ready to not only connect with stakeholders but also create hard impact metrics. The framework is little like citations but focussed on impact."
If your code is being used by external stakeholders, use the Shaipup platform to generate monthly usage statistics. Get details on the performance of the code delivered through the API. Does it meet consumer expectations? Explore opportunities for formal feedback, including extending validation beyond the initial testing.
Use the Shaipup platform, including version control and the ability to generate a digital object identifier (DOI) to promote access to your code. Use the DOI in social media or news updates to inform people of your focus on driving impact from your research code.
Creating easier access to code-based insights can be used to support publications. Facilitate access to your data analysis or models to allow users to understand your research better. Use the DOI in your publications to promote citations of your original paper and your code-based Shaip.
