The critical components of scholarship at Johnson & Wales are:
Goals
Scholarship and its results are based on pre-stated purposes or defined objectives and focused on important questions.
Preparation/Background of Scholar

Methods
Scholarship relies on effectively applied methods which can be replicated and are appropriate to the pre-defined objectives of the work.

Scholarship typically results in the achievement of the work’s goals, and the results make a significant contribution, often opening new questions or areas for future exploration.

Scholarship is disseminated through professional networks and venues; as such it is typically peer reviewed, has a professional style and is both clearly and honestly presented.
Context
Scholarship is contextual to the field or fields in which it is conducted, whereby each discipline defines the approach to goals and significance, standards for preparation and methods, presentation of results, as well as venues for dissemination.
