Scholarly method

Scholarly method — or as it is more commonly called, scholarship — is the body of principles and practices used by scholars to make their claims about the world as valid and trustworthy as possible, and to make them known to the scholarly public. In its broadest sense, scholarship can be taken to include the scientific method, which is the body of scholarly practice that governs the sciences.

This article focuses on scholarship outside the sciences such as history, art, music, literature, religion, philosophy, and cultural beliefs.
