Traditionally, scholars focused their efforts in the domains of clinical care, research, and education; however, the last decade has witnessed the rise of novel areas of development such as innovation, quality improvement, informatics, and recently, digital scholarship. Academic institutions adapted and began considering these fields for academic promotion and tenure. Social media has become a critical space for the dissemination of knowledge and outreach to community and policy makers and also for the creation of communities of practice. This new realm brings multiple challenges, such as the appraisal of the quality and appropriateness of the content, the evaluation of impact on the academe and general populations, coupled to the creation of a system to reward scholars engaged in this novel endeavor. In this article, we describe the current state of academic promotion and the definition, nature, and merit of digital scholarship. We outline new strategies and tools for the assessment of dissemination and impact of these works, such as altmetrics, and finally, we reference innovative concepts on how to organize and use this digital academia on career promotion and tenure.
传统上，学者们专注于临床护理、研究和教育领域的工作；然而，在过去的十年中，出现了一些新的发展领域，如创新、质量改进、信息学，最近还有数字学术。学术机构已经适应并开始考虑这些领域，以进行学术晋升和终身教职的考量。社交媒体已成为知识传播、与社区和政策制定者联系以及建立实践社区的重要空间。这个新领域带来了多个挑战，例如评估内容的质量和适当性、评估对学术界和普通大众的影响，以及创建一个奖励从事这种新事业的学者的系统。在本文中，我们描述了学术晋升的现状以及数字学术的定义、性质和优点。我们概述了用于评估这些作品的传播和影响的新策略和工具，例如 altmetrics，并最后参考了关于如何组织和使用这种数字学术来促进职业发展和终身教职的创新概念。
