Overview

An Impact Repository is a digital repository designed to serve as a home for research content that falls outside the scope of traditional academic journals. A substantial portion of influential research material is often overlooked by conventional journals. These materials are often not simply “papers” but include datasets, codebases, proposals, operation manuals, videos, audio interviews, and more. These materials are invaluable. Organizations engaged in extensive research generate significant content that lacks an appropriate outlet. An impact repository serves as an open and accessible platform that accommodates a wide range of unconventionally formatted documents. By offering a flexible and community-driven repository for all research outputs, organizations can gain a comprehensive understanding of their impact. This includes both successful and unsuccessful outcomes, providing a clearer picture of research trajectories and overall influence.
