This essay aims to present a different perspective on the evaluation of scientific research, addressing impact-related issues caused by the process of knowledge generation and dissemination. To support the proposal for an alternative look, a theoretical discussion on impact evaluation was presented, followed by societal impact evaluation and the impact pathways approach. The first part deals with the importance of observing and following the elements that sustain evaluative processes as well as the purpose for which it is established. The second part addresses the theme of impact orientation, which is essential to the central argument for an alternative look and deals with issues that go beyond the exposure of results, such as the articulation between actors and the existence of different dimensions of impact. Finalizing the discussion, the approach of research impact pathways analysis is presented, a perspective that allows for a rich and robust evaluation of the research and its characteristics. In conclusion, it is argued that assessing societal impact through impact pathways analysis is a relevant and positive alternative for the scientific sphere. As a suggestion for future studies, it is proposed that methods and tools be explored that can portray reality through this prism, as well as aspects related to different areas of knowledge.Downloads
