In 2006 the MLA Task Force on Evaluating Scholarship for Tenure and Promotion released a set of survey statistics seems to reveal an *inverse* relationship between readership/circulation and credibility. The numbers from the MLA report illustrate how English departments feel about writing for anyone other than specialist peers: Books “oriented to classroom practices” were deemed “not important” by 41.5% of institutions that grant Doctoral degrees. Textbooks fair only slightly better, ranked “not important” by 39.7%; Bibliographic scholarship was rated “not important” by more than a 1/3 of these departments. The least valued form of publishing? “The item that the highest percentage of responding departments rated ‘not important,’" according to the report, "was articles for a general audience (54.8%),” with books for a general audience right behind it. To put it mildly, scholarship produced for these audiences is perceived as significantly less valuable.
