Cell. 2021 Mar 18;184(6):1407-1408. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.02.038.

Abstract

Measuring scientific success has traditionally involved numbers and statistics. However, due to an increasingly uncertain world, more than ever we need to measure the effect that science has on real-world scenarios. We asked researchers to share their points of view on what scientific impact means to them and how impact matters beyond the numbers.
