scholarly ability


Explanation:
You may run across "scholarliness" in some Swedish -- English dictionaries as I did. But that word lies dead on my tongue when I try to use it. "Scholarly ability" is far more common among scholars. :-) The example sentence is from the reference link.

I took a look at your source at http://www.teknikforetagen.se/upload/sve/svensk_produktionsf...

I now think that "scholarly expertise" is better than "scholarly ability." (Since the source refers specifically to academic researchers' qualifications, I don't think that a translated reference to scientific standards alone is appropriate here.)

Example sentence(s):
  • At base, the dissertation is an essay that demonstrates excellence in scholarly ability, intellectual acuity, and erudition.
