Experts – Part I: What They Are and How to Identify Them

Abstract This paper investigates the topic of expertise in cognitive domains from a socio‐epistemological perspective. In particular, two central questions in the epistemology of expertise are discussed: what an expert is according to extant theories on the market; and how ordinary people can identify an expert in domains in which they have no competence of their own.
