There is no one clear path to scholarly success. Still, productive scholars share common means for finding their scholarly path including: curiosity, discovering one’s element, accumulating advantages, conducting pioneering science, establishing a professional identity, and keeping scholarly activities on one’s mind. Curiosity helps move scholars away from tired, well-worn topics toward the investigation of innovative and important topics where they discover their element, carve out a unique research agenda, and make a name for themselves. Budding scholars seek advantages, such as research-rich institutions and influential mentors, that multiply and accumulate, smoothing the pathway to scholarly success. Pathways to success are long, and productive scholars stay the course by keeping their scholarly work foremost on their minds.
