Scoping Review Data on Research Impact from 9,953 Academic Articles

A search on April 15, 2023, retrieved 9,953 citations from JSTOR, Web of Science, and Scopus for a scoping review on research impact. The dataset, created by Tugce Ataci, includes journal articles in English that discuss research impact, evaluation, and related concepts like scholarly influence and research relevance. The screening process involved title/abstract review and conflict resolution between researchers.

Use Cases

• Analyzing publication trends in research impact literature based on the described search methodology.
• Studying the conceptual scope of research impact based on the inclusion of related terms like 'scholarly influence' and 'research relevance'.
• Examining interdisciplinary approaches to impact assessment based on the search across multiple scientific databases.
• Developing taxonomies for research impact concepts based on the scoping review's inclusion criteria.

Strengths

• Search methodology is explicitly described, covering three major databases (JSTOR, Web of Science, Scopus).
• A defined screening and conflict resolution process involved multiple researchers.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 116.7 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing metadata rather than full texts.
