Ø Efficiency and Timeliness:
• Was the research completed within the planned timeframe and budget?
• Were resources utilized effectively?
II. Evaluation of the Research Impact:
This focuses on the real-world influence of the research findings.
Ø Dissemination and Reach:
• Were the research findings effectively disseminated to relevant stakeholders (news organizations, policymakers, disability
advocates, researchers)?
• Were the findings published in peer-reviewed journals, presented at conferences, and shared through other channels (e.g.,
reports, websites, social media)?
• What was the reach and engagement of these dissemination efforts? (e.g., website traffic, social media shares, media
mentions).
Ø Influence on Policy and Practice:
• Did the research findings influence the development or implementation of policies or guidelines related to accessibility and
inclusivity in news platforms?
• Did news organizations adopt any of the recommended best practices as a result of the research?
• Did the research contribute to raising awareness and promoting dialogue about accessibility and inclusivity in news
media?
Ø Contribution to Knowledge:
• Did the research contribute new insights and knowledge to the field of media accessibility and inclusion?
• Did it challenge existing assumptions or identify new areas for research?
Ø Long-Term Impact:
• What is the long-term impact of the research on the accessibility and inclusivity of news platforms and the information
access of people with disabilities? This is difficult to measure immediately but can be assessed through follow-up studies
and ongoing monitoring.
