This symposium will be of value to people with an interest in the impact

management. Attendees will gain an insight into the way the research

decisions about policy or practice in this area.
The symposium draws together key individuals from across the academic and
Web space to discuss the state of the art and identify potential future
directions in this area. It will include a range of case studies, stories
and views on the implications of these issues for academic institutions,
researchers, funding bodies, and publishers. Speakers include:
