Key Features
Everything you need to get the most out of Impact Beacon.
Stakeholder and Audience Maps
Turn a paper, preprint, dataset, or finding into audience segments, message angles, evidence needs, channels, and risk flags.
Responsible Impact Briefs
Draft plain-language summaries with source links, caveats, audience-specific framing, and permission checks before sharing outside the research team.
Dissemination and Evidence Planning
Build launch calendars, stakeholder outreach kits, and evidence logs for funder updates, annual reviews, promotion dossiers, or institutional impact reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Impact Beacon an altmetrics tracker?
No. Impact Beacon is a beta planning and drafting agent. It helps organize impact evidence and outreach materials, but it does not invent citations, media mentions, policy uptake, or engagement metrics.
Does it do a literature review?
No. It searches related papers first to ground claims and find responsible terminology, but the workflow stays focused on impact planning, dissemination, and stakeholder communication.
What can I use it for?
It is useful for publication launches, preprint announcements, conference follow-up, policy or practitioner briefs, community updates, funder reports, annual reviews, promotion materials, and lab impact tracking.
What should I verify before sharing outputs?
Verify coauthor approval, embargoes, copyright, image or dataset permissions, funder requirements, patient or community partner review, institutional communications rules, and every public-facing impact claim.
Ready to plan research impact?
Map audiences, draft responsible briefs, and track evidence before your research leaves the lab.
