Abstract
Research impact is important because as researchers we want to ensure that our research is useful and relevant to its beneficiary. When we say that our research has impact, we usually mean that it helps contribute to building new knowledge and that this new knowledge contributes in some way to the well-being of the community in which we live. In this chapter, we begin by first defining what research impact is and how it is usually measured and reported. We then discuss a set of effective strategies to make our research more visible using both traditional and non-traditional means (e.g., social media and online repositories), and to showcase our impact to relevant stakeholders (e.g., reporting officer or supervisor) in our workplace.
