Standards of Admission
The foremost consideration in determining possible biographies for Who's
Who in the World is the extent of an individual's reference value,
as determined by either of two factors: (1) the position of responsibility
held, or (2) the level of achievement attained by the individual.
Admission based on the factor of position includes the following examples:
Heads of state and other key government officials
High-ranking military officers
Chief justices of the highest national courts
Principal officers of selected international business organizations and
corporations
Chief executive officers of national academies of science and academies
in the humanities
Heads of international and national health organizations
Directors of major national cultural, educational, and scientific organizations,
such as museums, opera companies, libraries, and research institutes
Admission for individual achievement is based on objective qualitative criteria.
To be selected, a person must have attained significant achievement, and
may be widely recognized in some field of endeavor for noteworthy accomplishment.
