Conference interest: I would like the University to focus on the discouraging gap in terms of gender citations which is detrimental to high impact research and has been a source of reports, surveys and data analysis in my field to illustrate how pervasive this issue has become. The notion of public impact implies media visibility in the conference, but impact beyond scholarly (ie what is termed public impact) can also take place in other arenas (off the record meetings, interagency advisory groups, briefing of policymakers, advising Ambassadors and other officials) so how utilize, how evaluate and assess, either in terms of metrics, performance review or other measures.
