Dear OB-list Members-

Within our College, we are currently reviewing performance expectations in the area of research. As with so many other institutions, within our College there is a push for all faculty members (including those in the category of Instructional Practitioner) to be active in research. Although those of us qualified as Scholarly Academics are accustomed to the typical types of peer-reviewed journal publications, we are less well acquainted with so-called 'practitioner' journals or other types of potentially scholarly publication.

What we are looking for is whether others have any sort of norms or practices they might be willing to share on how they have ranked/rated/counted these materials (e.g., editorially reviewed publications).

I would be happy to compile responses and send back to the list.

Thanks very much,

Liz Boyd
