To receive tenure college and university professors have long been
required to write scholarly monographs or articles, engage in
serious research, and teach effectively. In recent years, however,
the emergence of digital scholarship has revolutionized - and
complicated - the picture in unexpected ways as new electronic
media have enabled academics to communicate scholarly material in
innovative formats such as websites, PowerPoint presentations,
CD-ROMs, and virtual reality "tours." Despite this growing output
of sophisticated digital scholarship, there has been little attempt
to set standards, define basic issues and concepts, or integrate
electronic scholarship into the tenure debate. This collection of
cutting-edge articles marks the first effort to evaluate the place
of digital scholarship in the tenure, promotion, and review
process. As a primer aimed at scholars, faculty members, and
department chairs in the humanities, social sciences, and other
fields, as well as deans, provosts, and university administrators,
this collection examines the evolution of nontraditional
scholarship, analyzes the various formats, and suggests guidelines
for assessment on a scholarly level. It also examines the impact of
digital scholarship in the classroom and academy and explores new
directions for the future. This book will help shape policy in the
murky world of tenure review and could become a central text for
scholars and administrators everywhere.
