Overton and the real impact of research

Overton and the real impact of research

Research is no longer measured solely by how much is published, but by the real impact it has on society. In the context of evolving scientific evaluation frameworks to value knowledge transfer, the Overton database is a key tool. With over 23 million documents from 193 countries, it allows tracking how academic ideas are translated into real-world solutions, evidencing their presence in:

  • government reports
  • clinical guidelines
  • regulations
  • NGO documents
  • think tanks, etc.
The platform allows going beyond traditional indicators to demonstrate the practical application of research in improving policies and services. A good example of this is the new research evaluation models —such as the ANECA sexennium calls— which incorporate metrics for «Citations and references» to recognise the mark science leaves on social, economic and political environments.

Are you a researcher at our university? We encourage you to explore Overton to discover where your work is being cited, quantify its real impact, and include this evidence in your CV for future accreditations, promotions or funding applications.

Make the value your research brings to society visible!

CSUC training on Amnesia

CSUC training on Amnesia

The Consortium of University Services of Catalonia (CSUC) has scheduled 3 training sessions in Spanish throughout 2026 on Amnesia, the data anonymisation software by OpenAIRE.
The next and final session will be:


Data anonymisation with Amnesia: a practical case:
  • 22.10.26 from 16:00 to 17:30 h




Amnesia works locally, without transmitting any data over the Internet. This ensures maximum security and eliminates the administrative obstacles associated with sharing personal or sensitive information.

Amnesia offers easy pseudonymisation. Pseudonymisation is a de-identification method that removes or replaces direct identifiers (names, IDs, phone numbers, etc.) from a dataset of sensitive data (medical records, medical prescriptions, financial information, online surveys, workplace files, etc.).

Although the resulting data is still considered personal under the GDPR, the risk of re-identification is significantly reduced.
