Want to Increase Your Research Impact? Try the 30 Day Impact Challenge

The research landscape is hugely competitive and as a researcher it may seem difficult to break through. You’re in luck. There are several ways to take your impact in your own hands. You can start with the 30 Day Impact Challenge created by Impactstory.

Drawing on years of experience measuring and studying research impact, they’ve created a list of the top 30 can’t-miss, proven effective steps for you to make sure your hard work gets out there, gets attention, and makes a difference—both in your field and with the public.

Daily activities range from creating author profiles, establishing a blog,, signing up for social media accounts in a professional capacity, tracking your publication metrics, etc. You can choose to do all 30 days or only a few. It’s up to you.

Begin the 30 Day Impact Challenge here.

If you have questions or need assistance with any of the challenges, contact the Health Sciences Library.
