Discover the real-world impact of your research

Has your research made a difference?

Do you ever wonder if anyone reads your articles?   And if they had, was it just another researcher padding their reference list, or did it actually cause change?

How will you find out?   BMJ Impact Analytics!

BMJ Impact Analytics is the only impact tool focused on health and social care.   If you fund, publish or produce research or policy, BMJ Impact Analytics tracks where it is cited in Clinical Guidance and Health Policy worldwide.

It is the only tool dedicated to health and social care, covering the greatest breadth of key medical sources.

BMJ Impact Analytics uniquely shows the influence of your work on patient treatment, using the citations in BMJ Best Practice the BMJ’s popular decision-support tool as well as national guidelines and guidelines published by key medical societies in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Local Use

BMJ Impact Analytics is being used to show how research by UHSussex staff is having an impact on healthcare service delivery across the world.

You can use it to see where your own research has made a difference, with easy access to the context and reach of your citations in policy, guidelines and grey literature.

BMJ Impact Analytics is available to UH Sussex, Sussex Partnership, Sussex Community, BSMS and primary care in Sussex:

Supporting your research

With the most comprehensive database of trustworthy citation evidence from clinical, health, medical and policy sources, curated by BMJ’s expert team and updated daily, you can include impact data into your funding bids and show why it is worth supporting your research.

Reporting

Your reports and presentation can now say how your work has influenced practice and policy.  Conversely, you can also see which work has had little impact.

Sample entry

Results can be received as data views to allow you to quickly unveil patterns and trends. This facilitates a more intuitive understanding of the real-world impact of the research funded or published.

The most recently launched charts allow users to identify collaborators at the author or institution level for top-cited research outputs, providing insights for further collaboration opportunities to expand the reach and impact of their research.

Individual graphics and full data reports can be downloaded to be shared with stakeholders or used in case studies.
