PDFR107 | Elizabeth is a mid-to-late-career woman who is a professor of biology
and the department chair for a regional comprehensive university in
Washington State. This university historically focused on teaching. While
faculty consider research to be an important part of their work, their
research activities are generally restricted to smaller, minimally-funded
projects, and they usually have time for research activities only during
the summer. Elizabeth was recruited to this university from a researchintensive
state university in order to expand the research activities in the
biology department, both by changing existing reward structures and by
recruiting new, research-focused faculty. However, her efforts are
hampered by limited research support and facilities. She is unlikely to be
able to recruit faculty who excel according to traditional metrics for the
field, such as numbers of publications and impact factors, since those faculty will likely be able to find
positions at other institutions which will provide greater support for their research activities. Instead,
Elizabeth would like to recruit faculty who excel at new metrics that have demonstrable impact on the
field of biology. She consulted with the dean of the college, her current faculty and colleagues
elsewhere, and there was broad agreement that the department can and should evaluate the scholarly
impact of raw datasets which are contributed to the field. She would also like to perform such
evaluations on possible new hires |
