This document outlines four types of scholarship (discovery, integration, application, teaching) and proposes measures of performance for each. It advocates for open scholarship that participates in the perpetual development of knowledge through collaboration. The goal is to promote learning and research through co-creation and infrastructure that supports evolving fields.
