This guide is designed to help faculty understand how to better understand how to evaluate scholarship and choose the right publisher.
Caveat: Information related to bibliometrics and other quantitative analysis of scholarship is detailed in depth but this information may not be relevant to your discipline or professional area. We suggest you locate guidelines for excellence in scholarship via your scholarly society or professional organization. We also suggest you consult Boyer's categories for scholarship listed below under Publication Quality.
