studiously

In scholarly fashion

Studiously means with careful attention and deliberate effort: She studiously avoided eye contact.

The word often implies conscious, perhaps excessive, care—someone who studiously ignores something is pointedly not acknowledging it.

Less commonly, it describes the manner of a diligent student: He studiously reviewed his notes before the exam.
