ACADEMIC BIOGRAPHY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY – ENGINEERING (May 2003)

Biography

Please complete all shaded areas in Section I, Personal Data. Information requested in Section I, Previous Applicable Employment and Education, and in Section II may be entered on the Biography or may be submitted as an attachment. If attaching information, please clearly indicate the section number and list information in the order in which it is requested on the Biography. After the initial appointment file is submitted, appointees need only update information in Section I as necessary to reflect changes. However, Section II must be updated prior to every academic review. Appointees may maintain the subsections of Section II in their own format and may add or remove information in this section at their discretion. Indicate “none” or “not applicable” when appropriate. All information should be presented in chronological order. For all entries, new items should be marked by adding the word NEW at the end of the entry, i.e., .

Bibliography

Append as Section III a bibliographic list of your publications and creative works. Bibliography information should be listed in three sections: A. Primary Published or Creative Work, B. Other Work, and C. Work in Progress. The citations in these three sections should be in a format consistent with the professional discipline, and be acceptable to the Division or School of the appointee. Citations should be numbered and listed in chronological order. Citations will be organized into subsections by category of publication. The inclusive page numbers should be specified for each entry. In each section and subsection a line should be drawn between new items and items reviewed in the last review period. It is also recommended here to add the word NEW at the end of all new entries, (e.g. “NEW”).

A. Primary Published or Creative Work. This section should include reviewed work that appears in the open literature and can be reasonably expected to be found in libraries outside UCSD, including refereed conference proceedings according to CAP guidelines, and patents. This section may include items that are "in press" (i.e., accepted for publication in final form) or formally “accepted” (i.e., publisher’s binding acceptance of entire corpus has been received). Such items should clearly indicate “in press” or “accepted” somewhere in the citation. This section should not include abstracts of papers or other conference proceedings (those not acceptable according to CAP guidelines) unless the department can forward documentation that the work has equivalent stature or is refereed to a standard equivalent to professional journals. When an item is moved to section A from section C, it should be annotated accordingly (e.g. “from Work in Progress”).

B. Other Work. This section should include other published material which the candidate may wish to list to demonstrate scholarly activity. Such material might include non-reviewed works, abstracts, other conference proceedings (those not acceptable in Category A), book reviews, encyclopedia entries, etc. Materials associated with items in this section need not be forwarded with the file. Work in this category is listed to indicate professional activity and will not normally be evaluated for quality or impact. If a candidate feels a work in this category is particularly important, he or she may discuss it in a letter to be included in the file, and the department may comment on it as a basis for advancement. When an item is moved to section B from section C, it should be annotated accordingly (e.g. “from Work in Progress”).

C. Work In Progress. This section is optional and should include only work for which there is actual material which will be submitted with the file for review. This section is intended primarily for disciplines in which completion of scholarly work normally occurs over a lengthy period of time, and where progress on a project is considered crucial for assessing the candidate’s accomplishments. Examples are chapters of a major book or a major work of art. This section may also be important for certain actions (e.g. crossover merit, appraisal of Assistant Professor). For other cases, use of this Work in Progress section is discouraged. When an item is moved from section C, to either section A or B, it should be annotated accordingly (e.g. “from Work in Progress”). This annotation may be hand written. Work may also be removed from section C if the work has been abandoned and is no longer “in progress” provided that it has been listed in this section for two consecutive review cycles. Although a line will be used to differentiate new items added, the list of works and the numbering scheme may be altered at each review.
