Here you will find some resources that are very helpful in understanding the concept of scholarship and how to think about your own work.

There is also an excellent (and short) editorial from Academic Medicine (August, 2008) with advice on how to get an innovation published. Definitely worth reading as you plan your next project! Click here for the pdf, or here for a summary.
