Emerging Scholarship

The Arkansas State University Faculty Award for Emerging Scholarship is presented each spring to an emerging pre-tenure-track faculty member who has evidenced significant and meritorious achievement in scholarship. 

 Criteria 

 

 The publication (or conditional acceptance) of one or more particularly high quality, original and scholarly contributions by a nationally recognized and refereed professional/academic journal, juried exhibition, or other professional outlets. 

 Additional evidence of scholarly merit, including refereed scholarly activities of lesser stature such as presentations in regional journals or exhibits, or refereed papers read to professional organizations. 

 The potential significance of these contributions in enhancing the effectiveness of the subject content in the classroom. 

 For the purpose of this award, papers read at meetings which do not referee papers, in-house documents, brief book reviews, and local exhibits and performance do not provide evidence of significant scholarly achievement. 

 The receipt of grants is not a requirement for the consideration of this award. However, applicants are encouraged to list all submitted grant proposals even though they were not funded.
