Definitions for University Productivity Report

For your convenience, terms that are used below in the University Productivity Report are defined here.

A.  Scholarly Books:  While all scholarly books will be considered in calculating the activity and productivity indices, they will be listed according to several subtitles.

1.  References and Creative Books: Included in this category are those books directed towards a professional audience in the author's discipline.  Scholarly religious books directed towards the professional audience should also be included.  Religious books may include those BYU published works which meet the appropriate level of scholarship and which are intended for scholarly reference rather than texts or the general public. Creative books are original works of fiction, collections of prose and poetry, and other creative writing.  This category does not include scholarly textbooks intended for student audiences.  All books are to be authored or co-authored by the faculty and the citation should include the author, publisher, pages etc.

2.  Instructional Textbook: This category is limited to texts of high quality which have undergone rigorous editorial or peer review and are published by nationally or internationally recognized presses.  They should be intended for broad audiences beyond BYU.  Books published by local, vanity, or other such publishing processes are not generally acceptable in this category.  Where special workbooks, software, etc. are co-published to accompany the texts, they should be listed.  However, these will not be counted separately unless they have a "stand-alone" status on the market.  Texts should be submitted according to the year of publication.  Where subsequent rewrites and new editions are published, they should be submitted in the appropriate year of publishing,

3.  Edited Scholarly Books: This category includes anthologies, bibliographies, technical collections, and other works where scholarly writings are brought together with appropriate commentary and/or editing by the faculty member(s).  The same standards and audience as identified in A1 apply to this category.

B.  Chapters in Book and Reviews: This category includes contributions to subdivision of "Scholarly Book" where the criteria of audience and review have been met.  Chapters in books must be clearly identified in the book index or table of contents as a separate work of the faculty member.  Contributions to scholarly encyclopedias may be included in this category.  The citation should identify the author/editors of the main work as well as the chapter in question.  Forewords, introductions, dedications, and similar contributions to books are not considered "chapters" or "reviews."

C.  Publications in Critically Reviewed Scholarly Journals and Proceedings: This category includes full length articles (no abstracts) and reports or original work published in recognized journals of the several disciplines. Published proceedings of meetings may also be included where the criteria of review and accessibility to the academic public are met.  Peer-review is presumed in such journals or proceedings, but other appropriate critical review is acceptable if it is the practice of the journal and discipline.  The presumption of "critical review" is that the work has been judged of for quality and appropriateness by recognized representatives of the discipline.

D.  Published Book Reviews: This category includes scholarly reviews of the works of others which are published in appropriate journals or societal proceedings.  Such book reviews should be cited as per other scholarly publications (authors, title, journal, pages).  

E. Significant Intellectual Properties: This category of scholarly indicators is intended to reflect the growing influence and acceptance of scholarship in a new tradition-tangible works other than books, publications, etc.  Issued patents, registered copyrights for software, and complex academic and instructional materials which have been protected by a recognized process are examples of significant intellectual properties. Software that is distributed without protection generally and freely distributed and typical educational materials (videos, tapes, workbooks) are not to be included.

III. Artistic and Other Creative Abstracts:  Evidence of academic accomplishments in the performing and visual arts is varied.  It may include typical books and publications, but they often extend to such creative expressions as actual performances, directing/producing of plays and performances, sculpture and paintings, compositions, and many other categories.  Listed below are some typical categories.  It is recognized that those submitting work for consideration must critically evaluate the submissions and apply their usual standards of academic work and excellence to each item.

A.  Juried, Invited and Commissioned Works: This category includes specific creations of faculty have been judged and evaluated.  This evaluation may occur via peer reviews of exhibited work.  There may be instances also where prestigious and recognized organizations or entities specifically commission works or invited exhibits or performances  Some examples of work included in this category are paintings or sculptures which are in juried exhibits or prestigious single shows, musical scores performed in appropriate academic venues and original plays or films which are judged and otherwise evaluated.  Where a work is exhibited or performed more than once in substantially the same form, one entry should be provided detailing all occasions involved.

B.  Published Creative Works: This category includes such published work that does not fit in the category "Scholarly Writing."  It specifically includes those works of design, book illustration, and other art which are accepted within the department(s) as evidence of faculty scholarship. Citations of such work should specify the publication, page numbers and other details similar to citations for other scholarly accomplishments.  Whether the work was juried or commissioned should also be indicated.

C.  Performances, Productions or Interpretations of the Work of Others: This category includes major professional and public presentations of musical, dramatic, and dance works where critical review of the performance.  The role of the faculty member in the performances should be clearly identified in the citation along with details of the venue, time, etc.  This category specifically excludes performances at clubs, church meetings, and family or other  personal gatherings unless clear evidence of relationship to academic evaluation is demonstrated. When a performance occurs more than once in substantially the same form, one entry should be provided detailing all occasions involved.

IV.  Scholarly Presentations & Abstracts: The participation of faculty in various academic situations, workshops, symposia, seminars, regional and national meetings, performances, etc., where the results are not critically reviewed or published as journal articles is a significant scholarly activity.  This category is intended for a listing of such presentations by title, date, and location.  It is intended to include only the academically oriented and scholarly presentations and specifically excludes local presentations, unless they are significant to audiences beyond BYU or are major academic presentations.  Examples of the latter would be the Sigma Xi Lecture, the Distinguished Faculty Lecture, Forum Speeches, etc. Presentations at firesides, enrichment nights, etc. should not be included. They do not meet the guidelines of critical peer review and academic setting.

V.  Editorships: This category recognizes the accomplishment associated with appointment or elections to editorial positions, including editorial boards of recognized scholarly publications.  This recognition is limited to duly listed (on journal introductory sheets or covers) Editors, Associate/Assistant Editors and editorial board members.  Referees of manuscripts and ad hoc editorships are not to be included.

VI.  Other Evidence of Scholarly Accomplishments and Recognition: This category is intended as a place for accomplishments or other evidence of faculty recognition that do not fit other categories but are deemed significant by the faculty member and  department / college leaders.  Election to significant societal positions, Fulbright or other awards, funding that indicates confidence of peers but does not fit sponsored program reporting guidelines, and other similar things should be listed here.

VII.  Research and Creative Activities Funding: The Annual Report will continue to list research and other projects funded by external agencies. Those projects which come through the Office of Research and Creative Activities need not be listed. Please list, however, other research or creative projects funded from external sources - e.g., from gifts, endowments, and all sources other than  re-distributed university funds. (MFHD Note: Also list funds from internal, BYU sources in the appropriate category.)

VII.  Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations: Beginning in 1992-93, the Annual Report listed graduate degrees awarded as an evidence of faculty and institutional academic accomplishment.  In this category you should list all graduate degree recipients and the type of degree earned.  Where the program is thesis or dissertation, that major professor should be identified. In other programs (non-thesis and professional), list the students and those assigned to administer the particular program.  List only those who actually received degrees.
