In today’s university system, scholarly reading is pushed to the margin. This tendency is detrimental to the scholarly project to complement other forms of knowledge production in society and undermines the legitimacy of academic research work. \u003cbr\u003eThis publication portrays scholarly reading not so much as a form of leisure activity or some inherited privilege that accrues to a limited group of secluded professionals, but suggests that scholarly reading needs to be recognized as being of central importance for the systematic but specific production of knowledge in universities. \u003cbr\u003eTo counteract the tendency to underappreciate scholarly reading in the univerisity governed on basis of rankings, ratings, auditing, and meritcratic norms, The primacy of reading provides a comprehensive argument in favour of reading as an integral and irreducible part of scholarly work.
