The Definition of Academic Merit.

Lewis, Lionel S.; Doyno, Vic

Higher Education, v12 n6 p707-19 Dec 1983

Faculty definitions of merit are analyzed through 417 recommendations for merit salary awards. The effects of the recommendation writer's academic characteristics on the case made were examined, and it was found that definitions of merit varied by academic discipline and rank, and teaching was generally less valued than research or service.
