Like the 2011 study, the 2012 study also included additional questions about non-teaching activities that could be considered scholarly by some definitions. These activities included unfunded grant proposals, consulting, service to the community, activity in professional organizations, and external partnerships/collaborations. The PDF can be found at this link: Scholarship Study 2012
SPC Scholarship Study (2008-2010)
In 2011, a follow-up study was conducted covering 2008-2010. In addition to peer-reviewed journal articles, books, book chapters, edited books, grants, published peer-reviewed abstracts, other publications, and conference presentations, a few more categories of scholarship were included: consulting, unfunded grant proposals, service to the community, participation in professional organizations, external partnerships/collaborations, and other outcomes.

SPC Scholarship Study (2003-2007)
During the 2007-2008 academic year, the OFRSP conducted a study of faculty scholarship at the College. There were several purposes of the study. One was to simply ascertain what kinds of activities the faculty have been engaged in during the last five years (2003-2007). It was also hoped that the study would reveal any trends in faculty scholarship. Is scholarship increasing? Decreasing? Staying the same?
All full-time faculty were asked to indicate details about their scholarly achievements and 97 percent responded to the request for information. Faculty were asked to provide information about: peer-reviewed journal articles, books, book chapters, edited books, grants, published peer-reviewed abstracts, other publications, conference presentations, and other outcomes (these could include but were not limited to: works of art, art shows, and multimedia productions).
In summary, publishing is on the increase at SPC and this increase is occurring across ranks. Congratulations to the faculty whose hard work has resulted in these positive trends. A Powerpoint presentation on the study can be found at this link: SPC Scholarship Study.
