Evaluation, Promotion & Tenure for Faculty

Guidelines for Evaluating Work in Digital Humanities and Digital Media
These guidelines from the Modern Language Association are designed to help departments and faculty members implement effective evaluation procedures for hiring, reappointment, tenure, and promotion. They apply to scholars working with digital media as their subject matter and to those who use digital methods or whose work takes digital form.

Promotion & Tenure Criteria for Assessing Digital Research in the Humanities

Text Analysis Tools

Web-Based Resources

CATMA : http://www.catma.de A tool used for mark up and analysis of data.
Google Books Ngram Viewer When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (e.g., "British English", "English Fiction", "French") over the selected years.
Google Fusion Tables
Juxta : http://www.juxtasoftware.org Useful for collating, comparing text. Stand alone desktop application.
Many eyes: IBM has ceased support Many Eyes. http://www-958.ibm.com/software/analytics/manyeyes/ . Data and text ca be uploaded and analyzed with a variety of visualization tools
Tapor: TAPOR 3 is not yet functioning. http://portal.tapor.ca/portal/portal Text Analysis Portal for Research.: "TAPoR is a gateway to tools for sophisticated analysis and retrieval, along with representative texts for experimentation."
SEASR : http://seasr.org/ "The Software Environment for the Advancement of Scholarly Research (SEASR), funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provides a research and development environment capable of powering leading-edge digital humanities initiatives."
Tableau Academic If you are a full time student, you can sign up for a free account with Tableau Academic. You will need to provide proof of enrollment (Student ID or Course List.)
TokenX : tokenx.unl.edu Created by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
TextArc : http://www.textarc.org/ by W. BRADFORD PALEY, interaction designer (a visualization tool) "A TextArc is a visual representation of a text—the entire text (twice!) on a single page. A funny combination of an index, concordance, and summary; it uses the viewer's eye to help uncover meaning."

Wordle: Even the fun, web-based program WORDLE could be considered a text analysis tool. It weights the use of words in a text then display the usage visually.

Video Presentations of Your Research

Consider presenting your research in a video format instead of, or in addition to, a print format:

JoVE
Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is a peer reviewed, PubMed indexed journal devoted to the publication of biological, medical, chemical and physical research in a video format. JoVE takes advantage of video technology to capture and transmit the multiple facets and intricacies of life science research. Visualization greatly facilitates the understanding and efficient reproduction of both basic and complex experimental techniques, thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges faced by today's life science research community: i) low transparency and poor reproducibility of biological experiments and ii) time and labor-intensive nature of learning new experimental techniques.
