Development of Portfolio – Tab 2

Summaries & Syntheses & Interpretations needed:• Proportion of effort (e.g. Research 40%)

• Research goals & significance (agenda)• h-indexes (Web of Science & Google Scholar)• Refereed pubs (role, impact factors, citation index,

acceptance rate)• Grants received (breakout of your $)• Connect grants & publications to research agenda• Graduate students – where hired (recommend to be

in teaching section)

• Articulate future – so what do you want to explore or create or discover in future?


Development of Portfolio- Tab 2

• Re-state your research PRS percentage

• Present your Statement of Scholarship of Research & an organized description of your Research Agenda (focus/foci)

• For each Research Agenda item articulate what it is about & clearly describe your impact!

Portfolio: Research Beginning• A. 1. Scholarship of Research

• My Scholarship of Research is to conduct research focused on discovery, integration, and application related to issues and opportunities of natural resources, the agro-ecosystem, and native forests.

• My research focuses on the economics of agroforestry practices and systems, biomass from short rotation woody crops, and alternative land use in the Midwest. My current research is directed toward estimation of the benefits and costs of riparian forest buffers, shelterbelts (in-field and around livestock facilities), and short-rotation woody crops.

• The development and sustenance of this research scholarship involves the obtainment of extramural funds, mentoring of graduate student research, engagement with peers at scientific conferences and on national committees, and publishing in refereed journals.


Research Agenda ExampleA. 2. Research Agenda

My research agenda is classified into three topical areas: agroforestry, biomass/short rotation woody crops, and economics of alternative land use.

1. Agroforestry: My agroforestry research is grouped into three sub-areas: a) riparian management systems (RiMS), b) shelterbelts, and c) alleycropping.

a. My riparian management systems research has been the most successful in terms of grant dollars, refereed publications, outreach, and national/international recognition. Since 2007 I have been involved as PI or co-PI (primarily with Drs. X and Y) with 15 grants ($1.21 million) dealing with riparian forest buffers and their efficacy . . .

Impact: This RiMS research is recognized as the Midwest model for agroecosystems by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the state of Iowa's Division of Soil Conservation, and the National Agroforestry Center. My socio-economic survey . . . has served as a model for similar work in the Midwest, especially in Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

Portfolio: Measuring Faculty Productivity & Impact of Published Work

• Impact Factor & Cited half-life measure quality of journal in which you publish

• h-index (aka Hirsch index or Hirsch number) is designed to measure both productivity & impact of your published works – USE h-indexes!

• Not all Literature indexes yield same h-index – Web of Knowledge (narrow) & Google Scholar (broader)
