Abstract: Although digital scholarship is now well established in academia, there is no consensus about how it should be evaluated for tenure and promotion.Is digital publication acceptable as a way to disseminate research?Is the digital medium appropriate for conducting research?To what degree does creating digital materials--from research instruments to pedagogical materials--advance knowledge and thereby constitute scholarship?Recent calls for open access to scholarship (i.e., free publication and dissemination) through digital media (see Chanier, 2007) are stimulating a debate that hinges on just such questions.In that debate, departments holding traditional views hesitate to recognize digital media as scholarship while others hold that digital media promises to enrich scholarly exchanges.
