I call myself a Subject Matter Expert (SME), and an analyst questioned me about that a few months ago.
According to Wikipedia, "a subject-matter expert (SME) is a person who is an authority in a particular area or topic."
A definition at OPM.gov can be found here.
I like this definition: "An individual who is considered an authority in a particular topic based on their work and/or educational experiences."
I do not doubt my subject matter expertise in crime and intelligence analysis.
What is your particular subject matter expertise? Own your subject matter expertise! If you want subject matter expertise, become devoted to a subject.
