![]() | The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous. |
![]() | This template is used on approximately 51,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
![]() | This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox person}}. Any field from {{Infobox person}} can work. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as {{Infobox person}} . Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox person. |
![]() | This template uses Lua: |
{{Infobox scientist}} may be used to summarize information about a person who is a scientist, medic, engineer, mathematician or (scientific) academic.
This template may also be used as a module (sub-template) of {{Infobox person}}; see Wikipedia:Infobox modules for guidance on such usage.

These are the most commonly-used (optional) parameters. The infobox implements all parameters from {{Infobox person}}, see here for a complete list.
If no name
is provided, the infobox defaults to the article's name.
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
honorific_prefix | To appear on the line above the person's name. This is for honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods, "The Honourable", and "His/Her Excellency"; do not use it for routine things like "Dr." or "Ms." |
name | Insert name of scientist, mathematician or engineer. (Defaults to article title if left blank.) Note: Do not include honorifics, icons, or other images. |
honorific_suffix | To appear on the line below the person's name. This is for things like |honorific_suffix=OBE – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA". It is permissible but not required to use the {{post-nominals}} template inside this parameter; doing so requires {{post-nominals|size=100%|...}} .
|
native_name | The person's name in their own language, if different |
native_name_lang | IETF language tag e.g. "fr" for French – If more than one, use {{lang}} in native_name= instead.
|
image | Filename of appropriate image (without "File:" prefix) |
image_size imagesize |
Image's width (uses users' default image size if not set) |
image_upright | Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%). |
landscape | Set to yes when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.
|
alt | Image alt text, for visually impaired readers – See WP:ALT. |
caption | Image caption – If known, include date the image made and/or creator. |
birth_name | Birth name – Use only if different from name in header. |
birth_date | Date of birth: {{Birth date and age}} for living people. For people who have died, use {{Birth date}}. If only a year of birth is known, or age as of a certain date, consider using {{birth year and age}} or {{birth based on age as of date}}. |
birth_place | Place of birth (e.g. town/city, region, country) |
death_date | Date of death: {{Death date and age}} (if birth date is known) or {{death date}} (if birth date unknown). See Template:Death date/doc for details on usage. If exact dates are unknown, consider using {{death year and age}}. |
death_place | Place of death (e.g. town/city, region, country) |
resting_place | Place of burial, ash-scattering, etc. |
resting_place_coordinates | Coordinates for place of burial, ash-scattering etc. – Use {{coord}} template. |
other_names | Former names or nicknames – Separate multiple values by using {{Plainlist}}. |
siglum | Siglum or monogram, a text shortcut (often formed from the initials of the name, with variations) used to sign work, if relevant. |
citizenship | Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT |
nationality | Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT |
fields | Principal fields of work (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, &c) not occupation (physicist...engineer) |
workplaces | Key work places, universities, companies, etc. |
patrons | People who subsidized the scientist's education and/or research |
education | Education, e.g. degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the |alma_mater= parameter may be more appropriate.
|
alma_mater | University or universities where scientist obtained their degree or degrees |
thesis_title | Title of the scientist's doctoral thesis |
thesis_url | URL to the scientist's doctoral thesis |
thesis_year | The year the thesis was defended and the scientist promoted |
doctoral_advisor | Name of scientist's doctoral advisor, if applicable |
academic_advisors | Names of any significant educational advisors (other than doctoral advisor) |
doctoral_students | Names of any notable doctoral students advised by the scientist |
notable_students | Names of any notable non-doctoral students advised by the scientist |
known_for | Key topics/areas of study in which the scientist is notable |
author_abbrev_bot | If a scientist is the author of a botanical species, insert their botanical author abbreviation here. |
author_abbrev_zoo | If a scientist is the author of a zoological species, insert their zoological author abbreviation here. |
awards | Notable awards/prizes received by the scientist |
signature | Filename of an image of the scientist's signature (if available) |
signature_type | Change Signature label to for example Seal |
signature_alt | Alt text for signature |
website | Official website |
footnotes | For any footnotes needed to clarify entries above |
spouse | The scientist's spouse or spouses (with date ranges of marriage) |
children | Number of children (e.g. three or 3), or list of names if notable, in which case, separate entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. For privacy reasons, consider omitting the names of children of living persons, unless the children are independently notable. |
parents | or father/mother, the scientist's parents if independently notable |
relatives | Other notable relatives |
Note: "Lists" in the following are usually suitable for presentation using {{ublist}} (unbulleted list, one item per line) or {{hlist}} (horizontal list, item by item with linewrap).
|resting_place
. Only use if known precisely (i.e. do not give generic coordinates for the cemetery). Use {{Coord}}. {{Infobox scientist

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.
