The “Enhancing Faculty Evaluation via Impact Assessment Framework” project is novel to WCH and assesses impact metrics that go beyond bibliometrics, which fail to accurately and equitably evaluate scientific impact. Such biased measures can result in the devaluation of scientists who offer diverse contributions to science and human health, beyond publications. The project will involve a department-wide review of evaluation processes, and an opportunity to standardize evaluation practices while centring on impact in the annual evaluation of scientists.
