Quantity of Scholarly Research Criteria

- Book Equivalencies - a minimum of 2 items from the scholarly criteria equivalencies list
- Refereed Articles - a minimum of 3 items from the scholarly criteria equivalencies list
- General Articles - a minimum of 6 items from the scholarly criteria equivalencies list
To aide in the review process, on the Research/Creative Work page for a given year, beneath the heading for each Creative Work the scholarly equivalency is noted.
