JABSOM’s Top 5 Tip List (refer to handout)

1. Do not assume others will understand

2. Publication Impact vs. Journal Impact

3. Summarize your Accomplishments4. Quality over Quantity5. Make the Reviewer’s Job Easy

Examples of Poor/Weak Dossier

Unorganized Not concise or too lengthy Too many acronyms and abbreviations (not spelled out

for readers) Does not easily describe the applicant’s unique

contributions and expertise Readers have to search for information Does not meet the minimum requirements or criteria for

rank sought Does not follow the University guidelines for Preparing

the Application (including organization of material and correctly numbering pages and inserting name at upper right corner on all pages)

Weak external letters or low number of external letters Negative recommendation or weak assessments from

either DPC, Dept Chair, Dean, and/or TPRC

Examples of Successful Dossier

Organized Use binders, tabs, labels, page dividers, table of contents

Concise Not excessively wordy or lengthy in number of pages Only includes substantial information/material and not a

lot of “fluff” material that isn’t helpful to reader Easy to read

Everything is spelled out – such as acronyms, abbreviations, and field/discipline norms that

non-specialty readers can easily understand Explains field norms such as joint authorships, authorship

order, publication contribution, publication significance, impact factors, etc.

applicable requirements and criteria Clearly spells out and identifies significance of

applicant’s unique contributions and field expertise
