As a liberal arts college professor, are there any implicit "expectations" about your research productivity?

@Shion I don't know about implicit expectations but the explicit ones are that I stay research active for the next fourteen years at a minimum. What counts as sufficient production is heavily field dependent. In article based fields a rough average of one decent publication a year is good. In history or literature a similar number if conference papers or a book is good. I guess the idea is that you should be always working and time not used for teaching should primarily go to research and some to service tasks.
