New opportunities for digital scholarship are available for early career and
established scholars, including peer reviewed e-journals, UC eScholarship,
open archives, and electronic dissertations. Individual faculty may be intrigued,
but can they personally afford to follow non-traditional publishing paths if
they want to succeed at UCI?
For instance, must early-career humanities scholars produce a published monograph
for tenure even though university presses can no longer afford to publish specialized
research? Are mid-career science faculty caught in a difficult choice between
the expectation of publication in established journals for promotion while
being encouraged to submit their research in publications that are more affordable
and support open access to research (e.g. SPARC, Public Library of Science,
Biomed Central)?
What role should new models of publication play in the evaluation of academic
quality in UCI's merit and promotion process? These questions and others were
discussed from the UCI perspective at a public panel December 4 at 3:30pm in
Emerald Bay A, UCI Student Center.
