Abstract

In an era where the societal impact of research is paramount, Southern Denmark University (SDU) is pioneering efforts to enhance their humanities programs through the Impact AI pilot project. SDU aims to address several core challenges: improving the analysis of complex qualitative data, streamlining interdisciplinary research, and effectively understanding and communicating the impact of their research.

By integrating publications from five humanities projects with data from platforms such as Scopus, PlumX, Overton, and Pure (CRIS/RIMS), SDU seeks to generate comprehensive impact narratives focused on seven key characteristics of research. These AI-generated insights are designed to foster collaboration across disciplines, optimise resource allocation, and strategically plan future projects, thereby advancing humanities programs' overall quality and effectiveness.
