How should an independent researcher introduce him/herself in his/her to be submitted articles? As we all know, all academic professors or students who want to submit an article (research or review) to a journal should write their affiliations (their institute name and job there) on the first page of the article.
All of the articles I have read till now were from academic authors and I haven't met a single article from an independent researcher yet.
The linked questions provide good answers (&quot;Unaffiliated Scholar&quot; / &quot;Independent Scholar&quot;), but another question might be what do you hope to accomplish with your paper?
Are you trying to simply make a contribution to the academic literature? In this case, Unaffiliated Scholar might be the best approach. Are you interested in establishing your bona fides for a corporate career or consulting business? In this case, I have seen plenty of independent researchers publish with their personal consulting company as their affiliation. The paper then presumably adds to the academic literature while providing a track record to use in advertising for future consulting gigs. In this case you may need to incorporate yourself, which is beyond the scope of Academia SE.
