service. Generally, the candidate's activities and accomplishments while at the University of Cincinnati are of paramount importance for consideration for reappointment. PROMOTION Promotion to a higher academic rank requires fulfillment of criteria for that rank and the demonstration of continuing professional development in all areas. TENURE For tenure, there must also be evidence of research and scholarly productivity and recognition that will continue through the individual's academic career. A tenure recommendation is based on sustained productivity as evidenced by several criteria. These include publications, national reputation, and extramural research support from grants and/or contracts. The importance of the candidate's research and national reputation can be judged by publications in high-level journals; numbers of citations and the quality and impact factor of the journals will be considered. The candidate should publish several peer- reviewed papers or other scholarly works per year. Also, publications must exhibit a defined area of investigation and clear evidence of independence as an investigator, and/or valuable contributions as a member of an interdisciplinary research team. Another metric of accomplishments and impact is invitations to present work at national or international meetings, being asked to organize national meetings, serving as chairs at national or international meetings, and leadership/service on national committees, study sections, editorial boards, etc. Other parameters might include national awards, named lectureships, visiting professorships, editorial board service or membership on national review panels. Invited published reviews, book chapters or monographs also indicate national recognition. A demonstrated track record of high-quality research in education and/or in the specific content area(s) of the department is required for the granting of tenure. A primary criterion for judging research accomplishments is the ability of the candidate to demonstrate sustained success in competing for extramural educational research grants. In addition, if tenure is at the level of Professor, candidates are expected to be able to compete with the foremost leaders in their fields as demonstrated by major scholarly achievements and by teaching and/or mentoring. There should be evidence that they will continue to make significant contributions as scholars and to serve as influential teachers.
