# The criteria for program inclusion is just that a philosophy (or a history and philosophy of science) Ph.D. program have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology. <ref>For the most part, free-standing Science & Technology Studies (or Science Studies) departments aren't 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. Of course, there are borderline cases, e.g., the University of Exeter's Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy; the University of Chicago's Committee on the Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science; and Arizona State University's Center for Biology and Society, all of which are listed.</ref>
# 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. The rule of thumb is: someone counts if they say they count.
