	Independent scholar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The status of independent scholar is often an amateur rather than a professional although this is not always a matter of choice.
		If independent scholars publish their work in non-traditional places (anywhere outside learned journals, that is) they are open to attack for lack of peer review.
		An independent scholar must often become a memetic engineer, or propagandist in order to advance his or her contribution.

	Robert A. Baron, Digital Fever: A Scholar's Copyright Dilemma
		Evidence of the unique status society bestows upon scholars and men in the arts and humanities may be had, ironically, in the tradition of ridicule and satire that Western culture sometimes uses to caricature scientists and humanists by placing them outside of the domain of the daily economy of living.
		Today, the residue of the scholars' traditional persona manifests itself as a belief that there is a scholastic warrant freely to access and use resources germane to a chosen enterprise -- for this enterprise is not done for the benefit of self, but rather for the good of the discipline.
		Scholars, especially those in the humanities, are being asked to plant their feet in two isolated worlds that cannot together coexist: one is in the past, the other, in the present.

	Scholarly method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scholars value data that is directly connected to observation, for example, data taken from examining a composer's or author's manuscript, the proceedings of parliamentary debates, or diary entries.
		To be sure, a scholar who can keep many facts in his or her head at once has a better chance of seizing upon an important new generalization, or of having a useful new idea.
		Such scholars work at their own risk: they are often (though not always) considered to be cranks or to have lost the skill or knowledge needed to participate in scholarly debate.

		A chief obstacle independent scholars face is access to libraries.The coalition’s president, Georgia Wright, says she cannot use interlibrary loan without relying on her husband’s university affiliation.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Review: "The Independent Scholar's Handbook" by Ronald Gross
		I already have my own strong ideas about the contributions independent scholars can and are making in the humanities and social sciences in areas being neglected or mishandled by academics, but as I mentioned before, Gross's argument that independent scholars could make significant contributions in almost every field exceeds what even I thought possible.
		I especially underestimated what independents could accomplish in the area of the natural sciences, which I had assumed was severely limited.
		Much as I love the American independent democratic spirit that shines through this whole mission of independent scholarship, there are larger philosophical and sociological issues about the relation of the intellectual to society that do not enter into Gross's picture.

		As an independent scholar in medieval studies, I have chosen and directed my career into librarianship, an area of similar study, while still maintaining my scholarly output and studies in the areas of medieval musicology, liturgy, and Anglo-Saxon England.
		These electronic venues are established because a number of independent scholars who, due to limited publishing venues, must examine the electronic media in order to begin and continue the process of publication.

	PhD - Education - Department of Bioengineering - Stanford University School of Medicine and School of Engineering
		The decision by the faculty member to supervise the student's program and dissertation is based on the potential of the student to become an independent scholar, and is based on many factors, such as the student's undergraduate and graduate course record, graduate record exam scores, and research, teaching and professional experience.
		Knowledge and work of the student, and/or others, should be synthesized to present a rationale for the proposed dissertation topic (e.g., theory to be developed, hypotheses to be tested) as well as proposed methodology to fulfill the dissertation objective.
		The student, in absentia, will be evaluated by the faculty at one of their meetings (other faculty may be requested to be present to participate in the evaluation).

	Independent Researcher
		I would like to find out a bit more about what this involves and whether it is possible to make a career out of being an independent academic researcher.
		"Independent Researcher" is very often a euphemism for "couldn't find a job in a place I was willing to live, and am trying to keep my foot in the door." If someone is in a field that doesn't require grant-funding and labs, and has another means of support (generally a spouse), it may work.
		I am an independent scholar in the humanities and although I'm very active in my field with publications and conference talks and whatnot, I cannot support myself exclusively through this work and therefore have a "day job" in publishing.

		In this edition of The Independent Scholar, I will be focusing on the electronic resources available to medieval scholars, and providing information on some that you may not know about.
		There are many other avenues for independent scholars of medieval history, especially conferences such as Kalamazoo and Leeds that are international in scope and provide excellent opportunities for collegial contact and research updates.
		Of course, without institutional support for attendance, it is often difficult for independent scholars to justify the cost of attendance at conferences.
