BMJ Impact Analytics has scooped this year's Innovation Award at the prestigious Association Of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) Annual Awards. This award recognizes a product, service, technology, business model or project which is both innovative and of significant value to scholarly communication.
BMJ Impact Analytics, launched in January 2023, represents a significant advancement in healthcare research impact assessment. Developed in collaboration with pioneering technology startup, Overton, this tool is the first of its kind, focusing exclusively on health and social care research impact.
This tool empowers funders, academic institutions, and corporate organisations to gain invaluable insights into the influence of their research on clinical guidance and global health policies. Unlike existing solutions, BMJ Impact Analytics not only tracks citations but also establishes direct links to patient outcomes through decision support tools and provides citations in context.
Combining Overton's data expertise with BMJ's healthcare knowledge, BMJ Impact Analytics offers up to 50% more data on health-related outputs compared to similar products. Funders, institutions and researchers can now identify the real-world impact of their medical research; make informed funding decisions confidently; gain insights into how their research has shaped medical practice; and target research funding effectively to influence health outcomes.
