Last up in our #OAWeek2020 series on the RPT process: How do tenure guidelines value nontraditional academic outputs, like blog posts or podcasts? (1/n)

#OpenAccessWeek #AcademicChatter

To find out, we scoured 860+ RPT documents to see whether they mentioned blog posts, preprints, events & other kinds of scholarly outputs. (2/n)

The good news for public scholars: RPT documents in our sample mentioned LOTS of different scholarly outputs (3/n)

But traditional outputs, like book chapters or journal articles, were by far the most common (4/n).

Some of these scholarly outputs, like software, are more universally valued than others: (5/n)

These findings offer hope, but there’s still a long way to go. What can we do to ensure ALL forms of academic work are valued in review and promotion processes? (6/n)

A book chapter on these findings — with @DrSchimanski, Michelle La, @emckiernan13 & @MeredithNiles1 — is in the works. In the meantime, read the preprint at hcommons.org/deposits/item/…
