Each organization sets an essential qualification to select a scientist. Most often PhD and seldom Postgraduate. If a person done his post graduation and never got a chance to study PhD due to financial reasons or any personal reasons, will he be taken as not eligible for any innovation? Earlier scientists don't posses even a graduate degree, but still their principles and laws hold good to this day. A scientist needs to be enthusiastic but not necessarily be highly educated. Independent scientists needs to be identified at least through online platforms and be recognized too.
Agreed on your ideas, even Erikson psychologists on this particular form. Here importance of contribution the field, any person if skillfull-doesnt matter level of education is able to iniatite science accordingly. Afterwards, recognized by non or science people. Hope my explanation is clearly enough.
Why not? One of the important psychologist, Eriksion, in this category. He comes up with an innovative theory of social behavior to provide a benefical contribution to the field. If anyone is successful on related field, for me he or she can be called as a scientist. Hope its useful.
