scholary source?

Answer 1

Are you asking what constitutes a scholarly source? This can depend on a number of factors but a couple of things are good rules of thumb. Scholarly sources usually have citations (footnotes, endnotes) and non-scholarly sources usually do not. Scholarly sources are usually published by a university press and non-scholarly sources are usually not. The authors of scholarly sources are usually university professors and the authors of non-scholarly sources are usually not. Is any of that 100% reliable? No, but it is a start. When in doubt, ask your teacher/professor.
Good luck.

Principles Regarding the Assessment of Scholarly Activity
(for those who began training July 1, 2004, and thereafter)
In addition to participating in a core curriculum in scholarly activities, all fellows will be expected to engage in projects in which they develop hypotheses or in projects of substantive scholarly exploration and analysis that require critical thinking. Areas in which scholarly activity may be pursued include, but are not limited to: basic, clinical, or translational biomedicine; health services; quality improvement; bioethics; education; and public policy.

In addition to biomedical research, examples of acceptable activities might include a critical meta-analysis of the literature, a systematic review of clinical practice, a critical analysis of public policy, or a curriculum development project with an assessment component. Involvement in scholarly activities must result in the generation of a specific written "work product." Examples include, but are not limited to:

A peer-reviewed publication in which a fellow played a substantial role
An in-depth manuscript describing a completed project
A thesis or dissertation written in connection with the pursuit of an advanced degree
An extramural grant application that has either been accepted or favorably reviewed
A progress report for projects of exceptional complexity, such as a multi-year clinical trial
Review of scholarly activity and the written work product will occur at the local level with each fellow having a Scholarship Oversight Committee responsible for overseeing and assessing the progress of each fellow and verifying to the ABP that the requirement has been met. The Scholarship Oversight Committee should consist of three or more individuals, at least one of whom is based outside the subspecialty discipline; the fellowship program director may serve as a trainee's mentor and participate in the activities of the oversight committee, but should not be a standing member.

Upon completion of training, the ABP will require:

Verification from the training program director that the clinical and scholarly skills requirements have been met
Submission by the fellow to the ABP of a comprehensive document describing the scholarly activity that includes a description of the fellow's role in each aspect of the activity and how the scholarly activity relates to the trainee's own career development plan
Submission by the fellow to the ABP of the actual "work product" of the scholarly activity as described above
Signature of the fellow, program director, and members of the Scholarship Oversight Committee on the submitted documents described above
Details of the scholarly activity requirement have been published by the ABP in a document entitled Training Requirements for Subspecialty Certification (January 2004) that is located under Publications. Click here to view/download current requirements.
