Purpose

The 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/approach

The 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.

Findings

The 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/implications

The 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 implications

The 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/value

This 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.

英国网络档案馆的影响评估指标

目的

本文的目的是介绍一项研究结果，以检查、确定和提出为英国网络档案馆制定影响评估指标的最佳方法。

设计/方法/方法

本文分析了有关数字资源影响评估框架的现有文献以及相关领域的影响类型，以制定制定影响评估计划的方法。该方法主要来自平衡价值影响模型，包括三个阶段：背景设置、指标开发和指标评估。

发现

为英国网络档案馆制定的一组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出了建议。

研究限制/影响

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。采用新的一套指标将进一步推动这一发展。

实际影响

员工的职责会影响他们对指标的优先排序，因此合作伙伴之间的讨论将有助于识别不同的看法、未被注意到的优势和潜在价值。从当前状态逐步积累评估和改进以及小型定期评估也将有助于向利益相关者展示未来的影响和价值。

原创性/价值

本文为英国网络档案馆提出了一组 13 个潜在指标，其功能已根据设定的质量标准进行检查，并通过与英国网络档案馆工作人员的半结构化访谈和调查提交进行测试。
