  • サマリー

  • Does our academic writing have any influence on the world? Any ‘impact’ – the term used in UK assessments of research? It is hard to work out clear evidence of either impact or influence, but it’s worth thinking about how we might have such influence. After all, why are we bothering to write, if we don’t expect anyone to be influenced by what we’ve written? Curiosity trumps everything. It’s no good simply writing for the sake of making an impact (although some people seem to do that), but some influence is good to know. We can ask people (how did this influence you?), and we can look at citations. We can even do a research project corralling evidence of impact or influence. All good. But some things are right (or wrong) to do, whether or not they have impact or influence. And some things will only have impact or influence years after we’ve written them, perhaps even after we’re long gone.
