Resource and support enhancements were produced throughout the fall semester and will continue as the academic year progresses.
Need help?
Ohio State’s Interfolio website — To support faculty in using the Interfolio Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR) tool, Ohio State's Interfolio website offers a wealth of ever-evolving resources (i.e., guides, tutorials, FAQs, etc.). The website is continually updated with additional and/or improved materials to help faculty navigate and utilize Interfolio effectively and efficiently. It would be an excellent addition to a faculty member’s browser bookmarks.
Faculty will be best served to utilize the resources cultivated on this website as they are targeted to meet the specific needs of Ohio State faculty. Many of the resources provided globally by Interfolio are designed to help long-time users of Interfolio and may not apply to Ohio State faculty.
Interfolio videos vault — Inventory of community-contributed functionality walk-throughs for common questions.
Interfolio Coordinators — Embedded within each college or TIU, the Interfolio Coordinators have completed advanced training and are equipped to serve as lead contacts for Interfolio inquiries.
Promotion and Tenure resource updates
Core Dossier Outline and Instructions — Updated to align with the report produced by FAR, saving faculty time by eliminating the need for a manually maintained CV in Microsoft Word. All faculty are expected to use the updated Core Dossier Outline whether utilizing FAR to produce it or logging manually in a Word document.
Policies and Procedures Handbook — Redesigned as a digital, web-based resource that is easier to navigate and accessible on all devices. Content has been divided into smaller, more digestible sections for ease in finding specific information. An updated PDF of the complete handbook is also still available to meet the diverse needs and preferences of Ohio State faculty.
What’s next?
Promotion and Tenure process procedure training videos are being created and will soon be available for faculty consumption. The trainings are being recorded as bite-size videos targeting a specific aspect of the P&T process for more efficient use of the viewer’s time. Stay tuned to the recently rehauled Promotion and Tenure website for when the training videos drop.
