-oriented ways. Hence, its mission and aim centered on serving the community in which it originated. Remarkably, IUPUI is a six-time Insight into Diversity Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award winner.

Judicious Use of Bibliometrics to Supplement Peer Evaluations of Research in Kinesiology
Duane Knudson
The evaluation of candidates for faculty appointments, tenure and promotion, grants, and scholarship awards is based on review from peers in their discipline. This expert judgment has been the principal mechanism or gold standard of evaluating research for over 100 years ( Belter, 2015 ; Bornmann

Duane Knudson, Ting Liu, Dan Schmidt, and Heather Van Mullem
Many faculty begin their first tenure-track appointment with a rough transition from a research-centric experience as a doctoral student or a postdoctoral researcher. The transition can be burdensome given the new course preparations, initiation of a research agenda or laboratory start-up, and
