Appropriate Methods Scholarship must be carried out in a competent manner for the results to have credibility. Significant Results One of the most critical criteria in judging the quality of scholarship is whether scholarship can be used as the building blocks of knowledge in the field. Effective Presentation To have quality it is essential that scholarship be accessible by the intellectual or professional community. There are many forums that provide opportunities for the review and critique by colleagues with each medium having different criteria for effectiveness. All scholarship must create an opportunity for collegial critique but it is also essential for the scholar to reflect on the scholarship and learn from the results.
Insightful reflection is a necessary step in quality scholarship.
We are planning on using these criteria for the reviews of all submissions. Since this is our first issue of JoSoTL we may find it necessary to modify these standards. After using the criteria you may find yourself reflecting on how you would like to see them modified. Please feel free to send the editors any feedback you have about the criteria you have used in reviewing your two paper. We would like for you to review the articles and include any notes, suggestions, feedback on the paper copy you print.
