Abstract
Methods We aimed to measure multiple indicators of impact for methodological research projects conducted or completed at the UK Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) from 2009-2012. Publication citation rates were obtained using ISI Web of Science. Email queries generated by these projects were recorded retrospectively. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CTU methodologists to obtain further data on the impact of methods. Interviews and email content were analysed, along with a descriptive analysis of citations.
Highlights
Evidence of research impact is increasingly requested by research funders
Citation rates have indicated which projects and journals generate most interest and email queries have shown which methodological developments are in widespread use
Through the interviews we picked up a range of less obvious but important impacts
Summary
We aimed to measure multiple indicators of impact for methodological research projects conducted or completed at the UK Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) from 2009-2012
