# The criteria for program inclusion is just that a philosophy or history and philosophy of science Ph.D. program<ref>Free-standing Science & Technology Studies (or Science Studies) departments with strengths in philosophy of biology are not listed. The rationale for this is that since this wiki's intended audience is prospective philosophy/HPS Ph.D. students, the assumption is that they aren't targeting STS programs. The University of Exeter's Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy is a borderline case that is included because (1) its name contains the word 'philosophy' and (2) it has four three faculty working in the philosophy of biology.</ref> have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.
# The standard of evidence required to make the list is a faculty (or personal) web page of some kind—or a publicly-accessible CV—that lists philosophy of biology as a primary research interest.
# Philosophers who have made significant contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as a current AOS/AOC are usually not listed.<ref>[http://www.pitt.edu/~pkmach/index.html Peter Machamer] and [http://www.hps.pitt.edu/profile/woodward.php James Woodward] at the University of Pittsburgh Department of History and Philosophy of Science are two examples.</ref> However, sometimes philosophers' short web bios do not list philosophy of biology as an AOS, though their expanded bios or personal web pages do.<ref>[http://philosophy.ubc.ca/persons/john-beatty/ John Beatty] at the University of British Columbia is an example.</ref> This wiki simply reflects the self-reports of online faculty listings so as to avoid having to make judgment calls about who counts as a philosopher of biology in borderline cases.
