Overview

This commentary highlights the need for better recognition of librarians' systematic review work in promotion processes, suggesting standards and guidelines.

Key Points

  • The aim is to examine how librarians' systematic review contributions are recognized in promotion and tenure processes.
  • Reviewed procedures from thirty-six academic libraries regarding promotion and tenure.
  • Identified mentions of systematic reviews in these procedures.
  • Analyzed the recognition of interdisciplinary contributions in library norms.
  • Only two academic libraries specifically mentioned systematic reviews in their promotion procedures.
  • Discrepancies exist in recognizing interdisciplinary work in promotion and tenure processes.
  • Recommendations include developing standardized guidelines for documenting systematic review contributions.
