HuMetricsHSS offers a values-enacted, process-oriented approach to scholarly production, decision-making, and evaluation. For almost a decade, the team has been working with individual departments, colleges, institutes, and academic-adjacent organizations to bring about meaningful changes in promotion, tenure and hiring processes, leadership development, campus culture, and strategic planning. Their most recent initiative is the Values-Enacted Leadership Institute (VELI), funded by the William and Flora Hewlett and the Mellon Foundations.
You can find more about what we do under Our Work and an example framework and explanation of our values process in Values. History gives an overview of our initiative from its birth at the TriangleSCI workshop in 2016 through to the present. If you are interested in running your own values framework workshop, see our Workshop Kit.
The HuMetricsHSS Initiative is generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
