I very much agree with Graham [earlier comment below] on this. I did one of these CRP reviews and the outcome and impact studies were key pieces we obtained more information from on what actually happened. And there were too few of them. The bibliometric analysis provided an important overview of the efforts made, and the scientific outreach achieved. Amongst other things, it provided very little information on policy outreach, contextual relevance, sustainability, innovation and scaling of the contributions generated through research partnerships.
