The Metascience Alliance is launching at Metascience2025! This new cross-sector network is building collaboration to better understand & improve the research system.
My main point of feedback is that the purpose of ‘maximizing impact’ is ambiguous. What is impact - citations, policy influence, commercialization outcomes, social media reach, etc? Without qualification, impact can also be negative, in which case it should probably be minimized. So I think that this would be better re-phrased as something like ‘maximizing positive impact’, or even better ‘maximizing societal benefits’.
