Summary
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) created the Automated Research Impact Assessment (ARIA) to measure research impact. ARIA analyzes citations in policy documents and reports to assess federal research contributions.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health Sciences
- Bibliometrics
- Research Impact Assessment
Background:
- Federal research programs face increasing demands for accountability regarding investment outcomes.
- Traditional bibliometric analyses have limitations in quantifying research impact comprehensively.
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) sought a novel method to assess its funded research influence.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and describe the Automated Research Impact Assessment (ARIA) method.
- To address the challenges posed by traditional bibliometric analyses.
- To provide science managers with tools for evaluating research contributions by funding source.
Main Methods:
- Developed the Automated Research Impact Assessment (ARIA), a novel bibliometric approach.
- Utilized references from significant research artifacts like policies, regulations, and clinical guidelines.
- Incorporated new statistical measures for benchmarking research contributions.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated the application of ARIA through several case studies.
- Examined the impact of NIEHS-funded research using the new methodology.
- Provided a framework for automated impact analyses within federal research program evaluations.
Conclusions:
- ARIA offers a robust method for quantifying the impact of federally funded research.
- The approach enhances accountability and informs future research investments.
- This method allows for automated and comprehensive assessment of research influence on scientific and broader communities.

01:30Types of Impact
1.1K
Impacts can be classified in various forms, primarily under two subgroups: central impact and oblique impact. A central impact occurs when two objects collide head-on, possessing opposite velocities aligned along the line of impact. Conversely, an oblique impact occurs when two objects collide at an angle, resulting in a modification of both direction and velocity.

01:26Impact: Problem Solving
496
In an experiment conducted during a Mars mission, a rover propels a projectile with an initial velocity, and the projectile rebounds after colliding with the Martian surface. To ascertain the maximum height attained by the projectile after this collision, the known restitution coefficient and acceleration due to gravity are employed.
By designating the launch point as the origin and utilizing kinematic equations, the vertical component of the projectile's velocity at the point of impact is...

01:19Impact Loading
832
Impact loading occurs when a moving object collides with a stationary structure, such as a rod with a uniform cross-sectional area fixed at one end. Under these conditions, the rod absorbs the kinetic energy from the striking object, leading to deformation and subsequent stress development. As the rod returns to its original position and reaches maximum stress, the absorbed energy, initially manifested as kinetic energy, transforms entirely into strain energy.

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

01:40Archival Research
17.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

01:11Statistical Analysis: Overview
17.0K
When we take repeated measurements on the same or replicated samples, we will observe inconsistencies in the magnitude. These inconsistencies are called errors. To categorize and characterize these results and their errors, the researcher can use statistical analysis to determine the quality of the measurements and/or suitability of the methods.
