The Corresponding Author

Stephanie and John discuss the paper "Documenting and Evaluating Data Science Contributions in Academic Promotion in Departments of Statistics and Biostatistics" by Lance Waller: https://doi.org/10.1080/00031305.2017.1375988 and https://www.biorxiv.org/node/29325.abstract. We discuss the promotion and tenure process and how they may be a bit different for data scientists in academia. We discuss personal statements, your CV, key publications, recommendation letters. We reference the PPM, which is the policy and procedure manual.
