Instructions to fill out the form under each of the three alternatives under option 1
 

Option 1 (a)
Option 1 (b)
Option 1 (c)


For Option 1 (a) on the request for designation to teach 700-level courses and chair dissertations ""

Please check that the journal where you published the articles submitted for consideration are listed in the Web of Science.
Provide a hardcopy showing the journal listed in the Web of Science.

For Option 1 (b) on the request for designation to teach 700-level courses and chair dissertations ""


This option allows for consideration of journals that are not in the Web of Science.

Once in the file, refer to the sheet titled, "Instructions and an Example". The instructions indicate that "As well, the cumulative number of authors from US universities is shown at the top of the sheet. The sample of authors affiliated with US universities should be approximately 50, but journal issues more than five years old should not be used."

As indicated in the instructions and the spreadsheet calculations, the criteria refer to the number of single-author equivalent articles. So if an individual from Harvard co-authors an article with an individual at a foreign university, then this is one-half an author from a US university (that is, in single-author equivalent units).

If all the articles were from authors at U.S. universities, then one would need 50 articles. If half the authors were from US universities (the other half coming from foreign universities/institutes/government agencies) then one would need to look at 100 articles, and so on.

This file is an excel file and can be downloaded from:

Provide in your application, the number calculated under this option as well as the diskette with the calculations.

For Option 1 (c) on the request for designation to teach 700-level courses and chair dissertations ""

The file option 1c.pdf contains the list of tier 1 & 2 journals that can be used under this option. Note that the article had to be originally submitted for review (and acknowledged by the journal editor - please provide the letter) on or before May 15, 1999.

This option is a transitional phase and eventually would be phased out as part of the criteria.
