  2. Outline • Overview of Harvard’s tenure review process • Some limitations of the current process • Opportunities for new tools and services

  3. Opportunities • Individuals and institutions need better tools for curating and networking their own record of scholarship • Institutions need more information about scholarly contribution • ALMs that reliably differentiate sources of input (general; academic; expert; etc.) would be more useful

  4. Appointment dossier • Case statement • Teaching statement and reviews • Curriculum vitae • Internal and external peer evaluations • Selected published works (articles, books) and other scholarship; can include unpublished works • Citation report, for fields where relevant

  5. Works of scholarship •  Books & Monographs •  Edited Books •  Book Chapters •  Journal Articles •  Conference Papers & Proceedings •  Technical Reports •  Reference Works/Entries •  Case Studies •  Translations •  Legal Proceedings •  Government Testimony •  General Press & New Releases •  Pre-publication Items (reports, manuscripts) •  Internet Communications (blogs, tweets, etc.) •  Web pages •  Patents •  Manuals •  Theses •  Scholarly Presentations •  Artwork •  Museum exhibition •  Screenplay •  Musical Works & Performances •  Audiovisual Works •  Datasets •  Software •  Equations & Figures •  Inventions •  Other Creative Works

  8. Opportunities • Individuals and institutions need better tools for curating and networking their own record of scholarship • Institutions need more information about scholarly contribution • ALMs that reliably differentiate sources of input (general; academic; expert; etc.) would be more useful

  9. Extending the on-grid record • Affiliation • Service • Society governance • Editorships/reviewing • Funding panels • Education • Subject areas?

  10. Contributor role taxonomies • Wellcome-Harvard taxonomy • Study conception • Methodology • Formal analysis  • Computation  • Experiments • Data collection • Resources • Data curation • Initial draft • Critical review • Data presentation • Publication • Project supervision • Project administration • Funding acquisition • CERN contributor role project

  11. Faculty recommendations for evaluating multimedia humanities scholarship • Review committees should solicit the expertise of professionals from outside their own discipline where appropriate • Review committees should request documentation of the candidate’s role in planning, design, production of new media where relevant • Colleagues should credit multiple authors following evolving conventions in the sciences, carefully specifying roles and responsibilities

  12. Trust, expertise, relevance • Closed systems • Peer review of people • Peer review of papers • Citations • High trust; known expertise • Credentialed peer review • Double-blind process • Open systems • Tweets • Blogs • Bookmarks • Downloads • Etc. • Low trust; unknown expertise • Unvettedbut identifiable actors
