Domains of faculty research development are considered, with attention to various scholarly activities such as publishing in journals, editing books/monographs, publishing book reviews, and delivering papers at professional meetings. A cognitive map of faculty development is presented that incorporates findings from the literature on the sociology of science as well as the literature on career phases/stages of faculty. The sociology of science literature contains a subset of studies on scientific research productivity. Significant correlates of high research performance are identified and organized into individual, organizational, and individual-environmental categories and studies. Specific focus is placed on the following correlates that have been directly related to the faculty career or age literature: sponsorship and mentoring, prestige or quality of instruction, prior productivity, role attrition, collaboration with colleagues, and reinforcement in the workplace. The correlates of productivity are also related to career stage or phase models, including the following periods: graduate preparation, the initial years as faculty member, middle and later years, and retirement and beyond. A bibliography is appended. (SW)
