如何评估研究影响到哪些类型的知识受到重视、激励和奖励。当代研究评估的一个日益重要的因素是衡量研究的更广泛影响(例如对社会、文化或经济的益处)。尽管影响的衡量一直备受争议,但该领域的理论化程度较低,并被务实的研究政策所主导。从社会学的角度出发,本文介入了这一背景,将研究的影响重新定义为在学术界以外的各个领域获得和维持资本(即象征性权力或地位)。它认为,研究影响发生在这些权力领域的交叉点。文章认为,影响力涉及来自学术领域、政治领域、应用领域、媒体领域和经济领域的各种资本组合,分别提供公信力、权威性、功利性、可见性和权重。在探索支撑这些领域合法性追求的价值和价值形式的过程中,本文为理解研究影响及其评估提供了一个新的理论框架。
How research is assessed affects what types of knowledge are valued, incentivized, and rewarded. An increasingly important element of contemporary research evaluation is the measurement of the wider impact of research (e.g. benefit to society, culture or economy). Although the measurement of impact has been highly contested, the area is under-theorized and dominated by pragmatic research policy imperatives. Informed by a sociological perspective, this article intervenes in this context by reframing research impact as the attainment and maintenance of capital (i.e. symbolic power or status) in various fields beyond academia. It argues that research impact occurs at the intersection of these fields of power. The article shows that impact involves various combinations of capital from the scholarly field, the field of politics, the field of application, the media field, and the economic field, which provide credibility, authority, utility, visibility, and weight, respectively. In exploring the forms of worth and value that underpin the pursuit of legitimacy in these fields, the article provides a new theoretical framework for understanding research impact and its assessment.
