Achievement of tenure at most research-oriented universities requires that the candidate be viewed by senior researchers in his or her field as: (1) having made significant research contributions and (2) showing promise of continued productivity. While quality teaching and service to the university and the profession contribute to the overall academic profile of the candidate, they do not take the place of research contributions. These notes have been prepared to provide some guidance to assistant professors during their early years, so that they can plan their professional activities in such a way that their chances of recognition and promotion are maximized.
