- “Quantity” tells you if you communicate a lot or just a little on your responsible policies and practices
- “Relevancy” tells you if the information you provide is relevant, that is, coherent with what you do, clear, detailed, etc.
- “Impact” tells you whether your information is effective, that is, it reaches the target audience.

Communication can be internal (addressed to human resources, students, professors, etc.) as well as external (future students, alumni, companies, the society at large…).

The “impact” may be positive or negative, direct or indirect.

Let’s take an example so that you can duly interpret your results: if we take a politician, he may communicate quite often on TV or elsewhere, the information communicated may not be relevant at all (what he says does not make sense, it is just fake, etc.), but it may manage to have a high impact on part of his audience.

Let’s take another example: you may communicate quite regularly on a topic, with relevant information, but not reach the expected impact. This may be due to other factors you cannot control like the way the information is perceived, uptaken, the supports you use may not be the most adapted to those you are targeting and so on.

The university communicates a lot or a little on these aspects.

Context of the analysis: In a network, each node or actor (“indicator” in the Newman Framework) plays a particular role. At a minimum, each node allows the network to exist by being interconnected to other nodes. Some actors ensure dynamics by being able to have a positive influence on other actors. These are actors of influence (the so-called “influence vectors”). It is therefore important to get to know them in order to understand where the STRENGHTS of the network lie. By looking at which actors are influenced by them, we can better understand the dynamics at work.

Example: In “Social practices - Three University Missions - Ensure students Health and Safety”, we could identify 'Psychological support for students' as a vector of influence. This means that it is a strong element (a strength) for the university and that the institution should continue to build on this vector of influence to develop its URS strategy and reinforce thus its score.

The vectors of influence are those, which must be taken into account in order to improve the Newman Framework.
The university should make progress on the aspects of the left column to improve those in the right column.

Context of analysis: In a network, each node or actor (“indicator” in the Newman Framework) plays a particular role. At a minimum, each node allows the network to exist by being interconnected to other nodes. However, some actors could be breaking points in the network. By ceasing to be connected to the other nodes, they would be vectors of disorder, of rupture. They are therefore warning signals on the network's WEAK points. It is absolutely necessary to reinforce them to avoid a deterioration of the USR rating.

Example: If “Social practices - Human Resources - Promoting the objectivity and transparency of remuneration systems” was considered a weak signal, this would clearly mean that if the university does not make a major effort to improve the transparency of the remuneration system, there is a very high risk for the USR strategy and subsequent rating of getting worse.

Finally, let’s note that a “vector of influence”, that is, a dynamic force in the network, may sometimes be at risk and thus appear also here in the “weak signals” graph. This means that the system identifies a strong element of the network which, if not maintained, could, in the medium term, become a breaking point. The penalty on the score in such a case would be very high.

The second actors are actors at risk.
The first actors are the actors, which have to be taken into account by the second actors in order to mitigate or prevent the risks.
The University must urgently work on the aspects in the right column by taking into account those in the left column.
