| Sep 17, 2012 at 11:06 | comment | added | Legendre | @DanielE.Shub - My suggestion was the title "commercial/professional researcher", not scientist. "Commercial/non-academic researcher" would probably be better. | |
| Sep 17, 2012 at 10:58 | comment | added | StrongBad | @Legendre people who do research in the humanities do not generally consider themselves scientists. | |
| Sep 16, 2012 at 13:15 | comment | added | Legendre | @user01 : Those would be commercial/professional researchers. Commercial if they are employed by firms like pharmaceutical, banks etc. Professional if they are employed by firms that are not strictly "commercial", e.g. NASA, Public Health etc. | |
| Sep 16, 2012 at 12:17 | comment | added | Rajat Gupta | @Legendre: Thanks again! I updated my list. About the 'scientist' term, I know you're right. So, could you suggest about how do I include those people in this list that are outside academia but do research like say scientists working in NASA or other research organisations. Sorry that I didn't made it clear in the question before but I also need to include people outside academia that work in industry or research organizations on scientific topics. Could you suggest some terms to represent such people in this list? | |

| Sep 15, 2012 at 13:31 | comment | added | Legendre | @user01: Postdoc should be in research position. It is not a course/qualification but a job. And like I said in my previous comments, "scientist" doesn't really mean anything. If you're referring to commercial researchers, its better to say so. In academia, basically anyone who do research is a "scientist". And I just realized that there might be non-PhD non-postdoc university research staff (e.g. ex-masters students hired to do research). | |

| Sep 14, 2012 at 15:23 | comment | added | Rajat Gupta | @DanielE.Shub: and yes, I really dont have a clear idea about how to distinguish between faculty(which also fits into scientists category) & scientists which work outside academia in industry, as I want to include them too. A newer idea was too use classification which includes people from academia & even outside that work on/ explore academic topics (appended to question). | |
| Sep 14, 2012 at 15:14 | comment | added | Rajat Gupta | @DanielE.Shub: the user is asked to provide the match which describes his current position best way. | |
| Sep 14, 2012 at 11:52 | comment | added | Legendre | @DanielE.Shub: Gosh, you're right. I suppose the best thing to do might be to separate highest education level earned and current position, AND say pick only 1 from each category that is the closest match. | |
| Sep 14, 2012 at 10:29 | comment | added | StrongBad | Given the edited list, I would have no idea what to select given I have earned a Bachelors, Masters, Doctorate and have completed a postdoc and am currently faculty. I also consider myself a scientist and independent researcher. | |

| Sep 11, 2012 at 8:39 | comment | added | Rajat Gupta | @EnergyNumbers: My audience is global. Ok, Scientist does fit into the hierarchy but scientists are also part of my user community so what option would fit for them more appropriately ? Won't "Emeritus" distinguish between current faculty & retired ones!? | |
