Responsible impact planning should ask what could go wrong, who might be harmed and what will happen after the funding ends. This new paper by Jan vom Brocke and colleagues provides a practical 40-question checklist for planning, delivering, measuring and communicating impact.

Developed through a workshop with 55 researchers, it tests six recurring issues: whether the problem matters, who has helped shape the research, whether intended users can act on the outputs, whether the work can adapt, what risks it creates and whether its benefits will last.
