Increase the impact and reach of your scholarly research by participating in the University Libraries' annual Research Impact Challenge running Sept.16-20. The challenge takes place over 5 days and will help you learn more about citation metrics, altmetrics, and other methods by completing daily challenges.

Faculty and graduate students who participate in the challenge and complete the daily tasks will be entered into a drawing for a Libraries prize pack.

Advantages of increasing your research impact and reach

• Discover valuable resources to help navigate career milestones such as graduation, job searches, funding applications, and tenure reviews.
• An understanding of how to demonstrate the impact of your research using a variety of methods
