Objective(s):
New advances in methods to deliver teaching, research, and extension information has created uncertainty within the academic community on how to best determine its value. The participants of this workshop will be introduced to the present model of peer review and tenure and discuss how that system may change as information becomes more widely available and faster. Perspectives on digital scholarship delivered through a variety of outlets and methods will be introduced and analyzed. How digitally developed peer-reviewed information is created and its new measure of importance within the academic community with regard to papers, grants, tenure, and related issues will be covered. Structured discussion will allow for an open dialogue on the implications of digital scholarship and its delivery with an eye toward the future.
