dc.description.abstractThe current landscape of academic incentives, rewards, and assessment practices is beginning to shift and evolve, and though change is slow, it is critical to a healthy academic ecosystem. At Virginia Tech, a large research institution and state university in southwest Virginia, United States; librarians Rachel Miles, Connie Stovall, and Sarah Over of the newly formed Research Impact & Intelligence (RII) Team are helping to ensure that the Virginia Tech research community can competently, ethically, and expertly assess research productivity and impact, benchmark across and against departments, colleges, and other universities; and assess individual faculty members fairly and responsibly. This poster presentation will outline the services, projects, and initiatives provided by the RII Team and how they connect to and complement one another. For example, Rachel has focused much of her work on responsible research assessment efforts within university governance structures and is currently chairing a Faculty Senate Task Force to write the first responsible research assessment statement of principles for the university. In addition, Connie and Rachel work together and individually on research impact reports and research analytics for groups across campus. They also consult with administrators from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, Faculty Affairs, and Academic Resource Management to make recommendations on decisions regarding the use of bibliographic data and bibliometrics. Together, these initiatives and services inform the Virginia Tech research community about its research activities and impacts while providing guidance on proposed policies, the incentive-based budget model, and nuanced bibliographic data interpretation.en
