Firstly, we examine the opinions of research group leaders about the increased emphasis on societal impact, ie does it influence their research agenda, communication with stakeholders, and knowledge dissemination to stakeholders? Furthermore, we investigate the quality of their societal output. We also study whether the societal and scholarly productivity of academic groups are positively or negatively related.

However, quite some research shows that these indicators hardly predict career decisions and decisions about grant applications. This suggests that in practice the indicators based on productivity (publications) and impact (citations) are hardly managerial and policy relevant. We suggest that individual scholarly quality refers to other characteristics of the researcher and his/her output.

Research councils, governments and related agencies, and charity foundations are therefore interested in stimulating and assessing social impact (eg Arts and Humanities Research Council, 2005; Cowan & Patel, 2002; Melis, 2007). In recent years, numerous methods have been introduced to assess social impact (eg Bensing, Caris-Verhallen, Dekker, Delnoij, & Groenewegen, 2004; Hanney, Grant, Wooding, & Buxton, 2004).
