Content

Scholarship is the practice of scholars whereby they produce and disseminate professional academic knowledge to advance the science of their discipline. Scholarship entails both disciplinary learnedness and authorship, i.e. the procurement, assessment and knowledge of Scholarly Information and Information Resources (Module 1); contributing to the canonical knowledge base through Research Documentation (Module 2) and the dissemination, quality control and authoring involved in Scholarly Communication (Module 3).
