Is Richard Dawkins a "recognized scientist"?

[murshid_islam]

Just saw a claim online that "Dawkins isn't a recognized scientist", which seemed like a strange claim. It made me wonder: how much research did Dawkins do over the years? Can you provide some references to his list of researches?

Unfortunately, it was a random facebook comment (which made me curious) that I noticed while scrolling. I don't have a link.

Did your curiosity drive you to do any searches on Richard Dawkins yourself?
What did you find?

I went to his Wikipedia page. It has a list of his published books. I wanted to see a list of his research papers. Any idea where I can find that?

You will save yourself time in the long run if you learn to search the web for this stuff yourself. Personally, I like google search, sometimes google scholar.

PF works better as a place to ask questions with explanations than as a forum for assigning tasks for volunteers to execute.

I went to his Wikipedia page.

The fact that he is emeritus fellow at Oxford surely speaks to some high regard does it not? Not necessarilly to his scientific prowess I suppose, but what exactly prompts your question?

I don't see how arguing by proxy with somebody not on PF will lead to anything. We say "He did A, B and C" and this person says "that doesn't really count". Then we say "He also did D, E and F" and they say "that doesn't count either." And so on.

I was looking for an honest answeras to the motivation.

You are seriously trying to use a random Facebook comment to start a thread in the PF technical forums? This thread is done.
