Its usual that we see doctors use Dr. Title, but I have also seen engineers use title - Er. Is this practise allowed, approved?  I have seen few name boards like that in India.

I know that the title  Dr. is often used to refer to those who practice medicine. For example, today I am going to see Dr. [Surname].  But are we in general expected to use the title when we refer to the following other professions too?   Psychoanalyst Veterinarian Lawyer Any other?

The editor asked me to use the following format.      Reference   1. Author, blah blah   Instead of      Reference   [1] Author, blah blah ...   Even though in the main text, [1] style has been used.   For example,        Smith [1] has proposed ...      Reference   1. Smith,      This is what I want.   Could you please advise how I can do the above?  Thanks in advance.

I am reviewing an edited document in which the editor changed      Prof Doe in the Department of ... in the Faculty of ... at the University of ...       to      Prof Doe at the Department of ... at the Faculty of ... at the University of ...   I'm pretty sure I'm right, but I don't want to make arbitrary corrections.  [Use of capitals for names of departments and faculties, and dropping the full stop from Prof not at issue — these are all house style]

I am entertaining the notion of a single field for name entry on our scheduling web app. I think this is an excellent case for a "forgiving format" to make it easy to enter their names quickly. I would label it and possibly put additional placeholder text guiding the user. Like this:    It's important to catch first and last name correctly because it gets saved in our contact database that we provide to our users. However, people could enter "Joe De Maggio" or "Dr. Chopra" or "Ms Sally Ann Mc Dumont". The possibilities are many.  Is this choice wise? Is the engineering worth the UX? Does anyone know a plugin that tackles this?

Two friends successfully defended their dissertations yesterday, and many people have congratulated them, calling them Doctor so-and-so. I explained to my wife that they actually don't have that title until the graduation ceremony, that it's similar to a President-elect, who isn't called the President until they are sworn in. So, what title does a doctoral candidate take after they've defended but before they graduate?

I am editing a presentation of a research project, I am wondering if there is a field for "supervisor" on the page of the title, for instance \supervisor(which actually does not work)... If not, where do people conventionally add it?

Is there an automatic way to attach a genitive apostrophe or " ' s " to an author's name?  Currently I use:  \citeauthor{kuran1989}'s \citeyear{kuran1989}   But since this comes up regularily I'd like to know whether there's a general solution.

I see more and more titles with backticks in the title (like mine here)... For example:      Is this a good practice? I guess not because I find this ugly, so there are three suggestions possible for me:   Avoid them in titles, and put a warning if the user try to use it (not an error, some user could need it some day) Format titles to set a monospace font for words surronded by backticks (without changing the background-color) Edit manually posts and remove backticks (see current accepted answer)   ... or any other ideas if someone has a better one :)

I have a question about my choice of name for publication.  I recently got married and legally changed my name to my husband's surname (for example's sake: from Hunter to Jones). So, despite legally being Ms Jones now, I would quite like to use the hyphenated name Hunter-Jones in the professional context and in publications. This is so that people realise that it is still me and so that I can somewhat keep my maiden name.  Is this possible or do I have to use my legal name professionally and when publishing? Thank you for any help

Seems strange (and not in a good way) to me that when I click "Questions" and very few (about 1 in 8) of the titles end in question marks. So I'm curious to get some opinions:  Is there some simple change to the site that would encourage actually asking a question in the title?  Is this a worthwhile aim?

When writing letter to an academic professor (not necessarily from student to professor), what is the appropriate way to address his/her title?  I have seen in letters using  Dear Prof. X even when the addressee is not a full professor  Dear Dr. X though, knowing that the addressee is a full professor  Dear Mr/Mrs X though, knowing that s/he has an academic title

I've been reading the Economist lately and they apparently don't punctuate honorifics like "Mr.", "Mrs.", e.g.     The popular rejection of Mr Mubarak offers the Middle East’s best chance for reform in decades.   I believe it's a British magazine, but is such a use proper or common in American English?

Which naming convention do you use and why?  I like to use employeeNameTextBox, because:   It seems more natural from an English language perspective. I find it's easier to look up with Intellisense. The convention is similar to the convention used for events (MouseClickEvent, MouseClickEventHandler) and dependency properties (VisiblityProperty).   Note:  I am using the full name rather than an abbreviation (such as "tb"), because it is in line with MS's naming conventions that say to avoid using abbreviations.

When one wants to refer to some part of a webpage with the "http://example.com/#foo" method, should one use  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a name="foo"/&gt;Foo Title&lt;/h1&gt;   or  &lt;h1 id="foo"&gt;Foo Title&lt;/h1&gt;   They both work, but are they equal, or do they have semantic differences?

After reading the question , I got the impression that (at least in the writers' field) the "corresponding author" flag could carry an implied meaning, such as "did more work than the other authors", or "is a more senior author". Is it the case?  I am in mathematics, a field where we typically sort the authors alphabetically, and I've never given any importance to that role (apart from "this author is willing to answer a couple of extra e-mails, if needed").

This is one bit of academic etiquette I'm not sure about. When I write to another researcher, a peer (we're both professors). I've never exchanged with before and never met him but I know of him (and he probably knows of me).  Erring on the side of formality, I write to him “Dear professor Mortimer”. I sign with my first name, because that's how I've always signed my emails (there's a formal signature block below, with full name and contact details) and I think it indicates a willingness to be called by my first name (which I prefer, but I don't want to force people one way or the other).  Is that going to be well received? Will people take the hint? Or should I just start using first names from the start? (it does sound weird to write “dear Philipp” to someone you don't know)

I just had a random thought; what if you append "[closed]" to the end of a question title. Is it filtered out, or in some way disallowed?  If you are seeing this, it isn't. It could potentially be used for some trickery, right? Or maybe not. I don't know, that's why you're here: discuss!  EDIT: Just a recap: Juan Manuel edited and removed "[closed]" from the end of the title and then answered (see below) - but it is technically possible.  Edit 2: Looks like it's still possible, if you play silly tricks with Unicode. (There's a  character in the new title.)
