Examining the Computing Research Culture

什么是好的研究？如何鼓励和促进它？虽然这些都是任何学科的基本问题，但它们显然也是非常非常难以回答的问题。如何衡量和奖励他们的努力对个人及其行动至关重要。广泛传播评估研究生产力的最佳做法将对研究人员产生重大影响，从而对所开展的研究产生重大影响。考虑到计算对整个国家的影响，提高计算研究将对国家产生重大影响。计算研究协会成立了一个委员会，以探索计算领域奖学金的意义，并为部门和个人带来评估和促进高质量奖学金的最佳实践。该项目将汇集计算研究社区的领导者，探索这些问题的答案，并就如何最好地促进具有高影响力的研究向社区提供建议。CRA最佳实践论文传统上对社区的进展有很大的影响，这项活动很可能会对提高未来计算研究的质量和影响做出重大贡献。

What is good research? How can it be encouraged and promoted? While these are fundamental questions for any discipline they are also clearly questions that are very very difficult question to answer. How their efforts are measured and rewarded is fundamental to individuals and their actions. Wide distribution of best practices for evaluating research productivity will have significant impact on researchers and, hence, on the research undertaken. Given computing's impact on the entire nation, improving computing research will significantly impact the nation. The Computing Research Association has established a committee to explore the meaning of scholarship within the computing fields and to bring best practices for evaluating and promoting high quality scholarship to departments and individuals. This project will bring together leaders of the computing research community to explore answers to these questions and to provide advice to the community on how best to foster research that has high impact. CRA Best Practices papers have traditionally had high impact on how the community proceeds it is highly likely that this activity will make a significant contribution to improving both the quality and impact of computing research in the future.
