Promoting Action to Build Research Communities in the Age of Open Science

该项目将举办为期一天的研讨会，将主要大学领导人（如校长/教务长）聚集在一起，集中关注与在“开放”的计算和数据科学中建立健全的学术职业道路有关的问题。这些科学家可能不适合传统的学术轨迹模型，因为他们创造的产出与传统的期刊文章不同。本次研讨会将为大学领导人阐明计算和数据科学学科职业轨迹的机遇和挑战。预计成果将成为可操作的指导方针，供大学实施促进计算和数据科学学术事业的原则，供机构通过专门的资金支持、学术活动指标、职业晋升程序等来支持他们。研讨会取得的预期成果将对个人的职业道路产生巨大影响，使更多的开放科学家获得更高的职位，从而带来积极的社会变革。该项目将举办为期一天的研讨会，将主要大学领导人（如校长/教务长）聚集在一起，集中关注与在“开放”的计算和数据科学中建立健全的学术职业道路有关的问题。这些科学家可能不适合传统的学术轨迹模型，因为他们创造的产出与传统的期刊文章不同。在所有研究领域，包括NSF所代表的领域，都能感受到与这种开放科学新范式相关的挑战。本次研讨会将为大学领导人阐明计算和数据科学学科职业轨迹的机遇和挑战。预计成果将成为可操作的指导方针，供大学实施促进计算和数据科学学术事业的原则，供机构通过专门的资金支持、学术活动指标、职业晋升程序等来支持他们。研讨会取得的预期成果将对个人的职业道路产生巨大影响，使更多的开放科学家获得更高的职位，从而带来积极的社会变革。

This project will conduct a one-day workshop to bring together key university leaders (e.g., presidents/provosts) to focus attention on issues related to establishing robust academic career paths in the "open" computational and data sciences. These scientists might not fit under traditional academic track models as they create different outputs than the traditional journal articles. This workshop will elucidate for university leaders the opportunities and challenges of career trajectories in such computational and data science disciplines. Outcomes are expected to be actionable guidelines for universities to operationalize principles for promoting academic careers in computational and data science, for agencies to support them through dedicated funding support, metrics of scholarly activity, procedures for career promotion, etc. Achieving the desired outcomes from the workshop will lead to massive impacts in terms of career paths for individuals, leading to more open scientists in higher positions, which will in turn lead to positive societal changes.

These scientists might not fit under traditional academic track models as they create different outputs than the traditional journal articles. The challenges identified related to this new paradigm of Open Science are being felt in all areas of research including those represented within the NSF.
