Topics for advancing research include gaming, social media, mobile devices, audience interaction, and libraries. The guidelines aim to support a range of scholarly styles and welcome innovative approaches while advocating for digital reviews as the standard method for assessing digital scholarship.

  4. Guidelines for Evaluation of Digital Scholarshipusc.edu/academe/acsen/Documents/Reports/URC%20Digital%20Scholarship%20Eval%20Guidelines%20final.pdf “Review the Work Appropriately . Digital scholarship should be evaluated in the medium in which it is produced. Candidates should not be asked to print out work that is best assessed in its born digital form, and reviewers should be provided appropriate information to undertake a fair assessment. Committees must also engage appropriate reviewers who are familiar with the specific area of digital scholarship in which the faculty member conducts research, as all digital scholarship is not the same. If the scholarship being evaluated is collaborative, care should be taken to follow UCAPT recommendations for the assess ment of collaborative work. We also note that nearly all scholarship today is produced in digital format, and therefore digital review should become the norm, while review by paper should be come the exception.” .
