Scholarship

A set of 5 selected articles, authored by you and representing your research program, that you suggest for referees and the relevant tenure and appointments committee to read. These are usually published or “in press” peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, and they should help the committee grasp the range and significance of your scholarship and research. Manuscripts in preparation or submitted are not acceptable. Include a cover sheet with this section providing the source (i.e., book or journal title) and page numbers for each selection. Annotate each citation to describe your specific contribution to the work and how the publication has advanced the field. The annotation should follow the citation it addresses.

  • Copies of all major materials (e.g., books, book manuscripts, and chapters) that are not directly available through Yale’s libraries. Each item must include its footnotes, endnotes, appropriate illustrations or appendices, and, in the case of books or book chapters, the complete table of contents.
  • A list of selections from your scholarship, comprising roughly 100 pages, for your academic unit chair to consider as they prepare the set of excerpts for the relevant tenure and appointments committee to read. These selections should help the committee grasp the range and significance of your scholarship and research.

A set of 3 to 5 representative selections of your scholarship that you suggest for referees and the relevant tenure and appointments committee to read. These articles, essays, or book excerpts, together comprising a total of no more than 150 pages, should help the committee grasp the range and significance of your scholarship and research. Each selection must include its footnotes, endnotes, appropriate illustrations or appendices, and, in the case of book chapters, the complete table of contents. Include a cover sheet with this section providing the source (i.e., book or journal title) and page numbers for each selection.
