Hess and Guston are co-authors of Rethinking Research Impact, a new publication in American Scientist, the magazine of Sigma Xi, the scientific research honor society.
Ann Marie Hess, who directs the Office of Research Development and Strategy in the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, and David H. Guston, who oversees the office, collaborated to bring GFL's model of creating and reflecting on research identity and forging impact through collaborations to a broader audience of practicing scientists through American Scientist.
Research impact is no longer measured in prestige publications, but in successfully producing patents, licenses, partnerships, spin-offs, and technology transfer pipelines.
