The Grey CV allows added flexibility in the forms of scholarship that can be documented, as well as allowing elaboration of how non-traditional forms of scholarship contribute to a researcher’s productivity and impact in their field.

To reduce duplication, traditional forms of scholarship (e.g., journal articles, conference presentations) are not included in the Grey CV, except as they pertain to ‘grey literature’ such as preprints, open access data repositories, and freely viewable web videos.]]> 2022-09-19 03:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302224029 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302227515 You can include small 'explainer' sections in your grey CV to describe what kind of content different sections include, and how those content types are important to scholarship in your field. This is especially important in contexts where your employer may have a one-size-fits-all approach to what content is or is not allowed in you main CV - for example, during the process of review for promotion and tenure.

Some members of the tenure panel might not be familiar with all of the forms of new scholarship you are involved in so you can elaborate more in a Grey CV.]]> 2022-09-19 03:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302227515 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302229094 You can add sections relevant to your own scholarship even if they are not considered 'publications' in a traditional CV.]]> 2022-09-19 03:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302229094 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302231986 Since the idea of a Grey CV is to act as a supplement to your official CV, you can make it as long as you like.]]> 2022-09-19 03:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302231986 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302239772 The following sections describe design features of a Grey CV that can make it a useful supplement to your standard CV.]]> 2022-09-19 03:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302239772 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302243996 Depending on the item being documented, different metrics might be more or less appropriate. A grey CV can contain whichever metrics are relevent for documenting the impact of different items, as they may be hosted on different platforms.]]> 2022-09-19 03:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302243996 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302250011 I created my Grey CV in response to an official rule that no grey literature could be included in official publication and citation counts during a submission process in 2022. By shifting the Grey-lit items to a supplementary document, I was able to include the fully itemized list as a supplement, and provide evidence of the impact of my non-traditional scholarship, albeit outside the body of the main CV.]]> 2022-09-19 03:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302250011 suzystyles https://padlet.com/suzystyles/grey_cv/wish/2302268682 This example shows a section added to my main CV, where the Grey CV provides documentary evidence for this summary.
