Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study to examine, determine and propose the optimal approach to develop impact assessment indicators for the UK Web Archive.Design/methodology/approachThe paper analyses the existing literature on impact assessment frameworks for digital resources and the types of impact in related fields to set an approach to develop an impact assessment plan. Primarily drawing from the Balanced Value Impact Model, the approach consists of three stages: context setting, indicator development and indicator evaluation.FindingsThe development of a set of potential impact assessment indicators for the UK Web Archive shows not only an optimal approach for the development but also recommendations for web archiving organisations.Research limitations/implicationsThe research did not carry out follow-up interviews regarding the feedback from UK Web Archive's staff. Adoption of the new set of indicators will further this development.Practical implicationsThe staff's duties influence their prioritisation of the indicators, so discussions among partners will be helpful in recognising different perceptions, unnoticed strengths and potential values. A progressive accumulation of assessment and improvements from the current state and small regular evaluations will be also helpful to demonstrate the impact and value to the stakeholders in the future.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a set of 13 potential indicators for the UK Web Archive of which functionality was checked against set quality criteria and tested through semi-structured interviews and survey submissions with the UK Web Archive staff members.

英国网络档案的影响评估指标

目的本文的目的是介绍一项研究的结果，确定并提出制定英国网络档案影响评估指标的最佳方法。设计/方法/方法本文分析了现有关于数字资源影响评估框架的文献以及相关领域的影响类型，以制定影响评估计划的方法。该方法主要借鉴平衡价值影响模型，包括三个阶段：背景设定、指标制定和指标评估。发现为英国网络档案馆制定的一套潜在影响评估指标不仅显示了开发的最佳方法，还为网络档案组织提供了建议。研究局限性/含义该研究没有就英国网络档案馆工作人员的反馈进行后续采访。通过一套新的指标将进一步推动这一发展。实际含义员工的职责会影响他们对指标的优先顺序，因此合作伙伴之间的讨论将有助于认识到不同的看法、未被注意到的优势和潜在价值观。从目前的状态和小型定期评估中逐步积累评估和改进，也将有助于展示未来对利益攸关方的影响和价值。独创性/价值本文为英国网络档案馆提出了一套13个潜在指标，根据既定的质量标准对其功能进行了检查，并通过半结构化访谈和英国网络档案工作人员提交的调查进行了测试。
