Abstract
Given its sociotechnical focus, information systems research has the potential to generate diverse forms of impact and advance society’s grand challenges. But producing research impact beyond academia remains a difficult endeavor. In this editorial, we discuss the multifaceted nature of IS research impact and offer a framework and guidelines for researchers to plan, deliver, measure, and communicate research impact across academia, business, and society, while considering the research context.
