When considering whether you are an "expert" appropriate for inclusion in the Directory, the following notes may serve as guide on who would typically be included:
Someone with
extensive formal training (such as a Ph.D.) on the relevant topics.
Someone with
substantial experience dealing with issues on the ground -- perhaps with one
or more years of living and working in the region or five or more years of repeated
visits to it.
Someone with
specialized skills and experience dealing with information about the region,
typically having access to data resources which are inaccessible to others.
Someone with
significant direct experience of areas or aspects of life in the region.
One should also be someone who can make oneself available to interested parties, such as journalists and conference organizers. Generally, this means that a working knowledge of English is vital, as well as good accessibility via telephone and/or e-mail.
Cite the highest degree (or degrees, if you have qualifications in different fields). If the title of your degree is not originally in the English-language system, you should give it in its original language. This is necessary because some people, for example, represent their "Kandidat" degree as a "Ph.D.", which some people will consider to be a misrepresentation.
Consider what will help a Directory user to quickly identify your relevant expertise (users will most often either search for keywords or do very cursory browsing. For examples, you can look at other entries in the Experts Listing.
Include geographic and thematic terms which will help people search the index for your expertise. It is best to include some general terms as well as more specific terms (e.g., Islam and Sufism or Naqshbandiya). Do not include more than 10 terms, as the extra terms will be ignored. Do not include commas within terms (for example, do not write "Caucasus, Northern") as these will be treated as separate terms. You may separate terms by a carriage return or a comma.
The contact information must remain up-to-date for continued inclusion in the Directory. Make a note to yourself of the page address for sending updated information when you change work, etc.
With any web links you provide, include an identifier indicating what the page is--e.g., "Resume: http://www.resumes.com/Joe_Schmoe_resume.html". Note that you can Search «CESWW» to find references to your publications, dissertation, conference participation, etc.
