""Cornerstones of Impact Management is written by impact practitioners for anyone interested in societal impacts of research. It covers foundations such as pathways to impact and planning for impact. Since planning is needed for effective assessment and evaluation, readers get a deep dive into those topics which are always in demand. And it introduces some emerging areas of impact including ethics of impact and artificial intelligence. Each chapter has tips, a chapter summary and real life examples of successful impact practices. All this with contributors from Australia, Catalonia, UK, Denmark, Canada and USA. ... A must-read book on impact."" -- David J.
