Resources for Documenting the Impact of your Scholarship  

Librarians have many assets to help you through through the P&T process:

• Broad view of scholarship  - librarians can help you see how your subject area fits into the big picture in ways you may not have thought about
  
• Expert searching skills - librarians can find citations of your work wherever they may be
  
• Ability to use information tools creatively - librarians can use a number of tools, including non-traditional ones, to paint a complete picture of the impact of your scholarly work
  
• Neutrality in the P&T process - librarians can provide you with unbiased information and the value of perspective external to your department or the P&T committee
  

This guide is designed to assist:

• faculty seeking promotion and tenure
• members of promotion and tenure committees
• researchers seeking to locate collaborators
• researchers looking for appropriate venues for publishing their work

The workshop’s goal is to help faculty members applying for promotion and tenure to make the case for excellence in scholarship by using tools such as citation analysis, journal metrics, and other methods. Newer faculty who are just starting to publish can also benefit by using these tools to develop effective publishing strategies.
