Create guidance documents designed to improve acknowledgement and measurement of software-related work within the context of faculty hiring processes and tenure evaluations #4
Potential Activity Scope
This line of activity could involve creating and disseminating exemplar guidance documents and templates to assist various stakeholders—including hiring committees, faculty members, and reference letter authors—in understanding and implementing best practices. (up to 10 x 2-page guidance documents or templates).
Potential Objectives
Develop guidance documents as dynamic resources to foster greater inclusivity and recognition of diverse scholarly contributions in the form of software work.
Publicize these documents through a blog post and hosting in an online space focusing on advancing research software as a field.
Targeted Impact
This activity could help reshape the traditional practices in academic hiring and tenure processes, reinforcing the crucial role that software development plays in today's research landscape.
This potential activity was curated as part of "Charting the Course: Policy and Planning for Sustainable Research Software," a Sloan Foundation-funded project within URSSI dedicated to supporting the future of research software through evidence-informed policy work (Project contacts are: @danielskatz and @dr-eric-jensen).
