Tried this in different thread and got nowhere. Trying again.
Seems to be the newest and most potent buzzword, but
How is it defined? and more importantly, how is it measured?
There are posts on here which talk about how the top programs look at publications and consider impact as much as journal and number of cites. I can identify the journal, I can count cites -- how do they counsel their junior faculty on impact?
There are posts on here about the Utah Finance Conference. They mention that inclusion is based on impact. What did those who got included do to create more "impact" for themselves and for their papers?
Any thoughtful, non joke reply would be seriously appreciated.
