Criterion 6: 

The person's authorship of scholarly articles in the field, in professional or major trade publications or other major media.

First, USCIS determines whether the person has authored scholarly articles in the field.

As defined in the academic arena, a scholarly article reports on original research, experimentation, or philosophical discourse. It is written by a researcher or expert in the field who is often affiliated with a college, university, or research institution. Scholarly articles are also generally peer reviewed by other experts in the field of specialization. In general, it should have footnotes, endnotes, or a bibliography, and may include graphs, charts, videos, or pictures as illustrations of the concepts expressed in the article.

Examples of scholarly article authorship include, but are not limited to:

Publications in professionally-relevant peer-reviewed journals; and

Published conference presentations at nationally or internationally recognized conferences.

For other fields, a scholarly article should be written for learned persons in that field. ("Learned" is defined as "having profound knowledge gained by study").Learned persons include all persons having profound knowledge of a field.

Second, USCIS determines whether the publication qualifies as a professional publication, major trade publication, or major media publication.

In evaluating whether a submitted publication is a professional publication or major media, relevant factors include the intended audience (for professional journals) and the circulation or readership relative to other media in the field (for major media).

标准 6：

此人在专业或主要行业出版物或其他主要媒体上发表过该领域的学术文章。

首先，移民局要确定申请人是否撰写过该领域的学术文章。

根据学术领域的定义，学术文章是关于原创研究、实验或哲学论述的报告。文章由该领域的研究人员或专家撰写，他们通常隶属于学院、大学或研究机构。学术文章一般也由专业领域的其他专家进行同行评审。一般来说，文章应该有脚注、尾注或参考书目，并可能包括图表、视频或图片，作为文章中概念的说明。

学术文章作者资格的例子包括但不限于：

在专业相关的同行评审期刊上发表文章；以及

在国内或国际知名会议上发表的会议演讲。

对于其他领域，学术文章应为该领域的有识之士撰写。(博学 "的定义是 "通过学习获得渊博的知识"）博学者包括所有在某一领域具有渊博知识的人。

其次，移民局确定出版物是否符合专业出版物、主要贸易出版物或主要媒体出版物的条件。

在评估所提交的出版物是否为专业出版物或主要媒体时，相关因素包括目标受众（对于专业期刊）以及相对于该领域其他媒体的发行量或读者群（对于主要媒体）。

Criterion 7: 

Display of the person's work in the field at artistic exhibitions or showcases.

First, USCIS determines whether the work that was displayed is the person's work product.

The description of this type of evidence in the regulation provides that the work must be the person's work product.

Second, USCIS determines whether the venues (virtual or otherwise) where the person's work was displayed were artistic exhibitions or showcases. Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines exhibition as a public showing (as of works of art, objects of manufacture, or athletic skill).

标准 7：

在艺术展览或展示会上展示个人作品。

首先，移民局要确定展示的作品是否是当事人的工作成果。

条例中对此类证据的描述规定，作品必须是当事人的工作成果。

其次，移民局确定展示该人作品的场所（虚拟或其他）是否为艺术展览或陈列馆。梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特在线词典将展览定义为公开展示（如艺术作品、制造物品或运动技能）。

Criterion 8: 

The person has performed in a leading or critical role for organizations or establishments that have a distinguished reputation.

First, USCIS determines whether the person has performed in a leading or critical role for an organization, establishment, or a division or department of an organization or establishment.

Examples of lead or critical roles may include, but are not limited to:

Senior faculty or senior research position for a distinguished academic department or program;

Senior research position for a distinguished non-academic institution or company;

Principal or named investigator for a department, institution, or business that received a merit-based government award, such as an academic research or Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant;

Member of a key committee within a distinguished organization;

Founder or co-founder of, or contributor of intellectual property to, a startup business that has a distinguished reputation; and

Leading or critical role for a distinguished organization or a distinguished division of an institution or company, as explained in detail by the director or a principal investigator of the relevant organization or division.

Considerations:

In evaluating such evidence, officers examine whether the role is (or was) leading or critical.

For a leading role, officers look at whether the evidence establishes that the person is (or was) a leader within the organization or establishment or a division or department thereof. A title, with appropriate matching duties, can help to establish that a role is (or was), in fact, leading.

For a critical role, officers look at whether the evidence establishes that the person has contributed in a way that is of significant importance to the outcome of the organization or establishment's activities or those of a division or department of the organization or establishment.

A supporting role may be considered critical if the person's performance in the role is (or was) important. It is not the title of the person's role, but rather the person's performance in the role that determines whether the role is (or was) critical.

This is one criterion where letters from persons with personal knowledge of the significance of the person's leading or critical role can be particularly helpful to officers in making this determination, so long as the letters contain detailed and probative information that specifically addresses how the person's role for the organization, establishment, division, or department was leading or critical. Evidence of experience must consist of letters from employers.

Second, USCIS determines whether the organization or establishment, or the department or division for which the person holds or held a leading or critical role, has a distinguished reputation.

The relative size or longevity of an organization or establishment is not in and of itself a determining factor but is considered together with other information to determine whether a distinguished reputation exists. Other relevant factors for evaluating the reputation of an organization or establishment can include the scale of its customer base or relevant media coverage.

For academic departments, programs, and institutions, officers may also consider relevant and credible national rankings and receipt of government research grants as positive factors.

For a startup business, officers may consider evidence that the business has received significant funding from government entities, venture capital funds, angel investors, or other such funders commensurate with funding rounds generally achieved for that startup’s stage and industry, as a positive factor regarding its distinguished reputation.

Merriam-Webster's online dictionary defines “distinguished” as “marked by eminence, distinction, or excellence” or “befitting an eminent person.”

标准 8：

此人曾在声誉卓著的组织或机构中担任领导或关键职务。

首先，美国公民与移民服务局（USCIS）会确定申请人是否曾在某个组织、机构或某个组织或机构的某个部门担任领导或关键职务。

领导或关键职位的例子包括但不限于：

杰出学术部门或项目的高级教员或高级研究职位；

杰出非学术机构或公司的高级研究职位；

获得政府择优奖励（如学术研究或小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 基金）的部门、机构或企业的首席或指定研究员；

杰出组织的重要委员会成员；

声誉卓著的初创企业的创始人或共同创始人，或知识产权贡献者；以及

在杰出组织或机构或公司的杰出部门中担任领导或关键职务，相关组织或部门的负责人或主要研究人员对此有详细解释。

考虑因素：

在评估此类证据时，官员会审查该角色是（或曾经是）领导角色还是关键角色。

就领导作用而言，官员要看有关证据是否证明此人是（或曾是）该组织或机构或其某个处或部门的领导人。头衔以及与之相匹配的适当职责可以帮助确定某个角色实际上是（或曾经是）领导角色。

至于关键角色，官员会看是否有证据证明此人对该组织或机构的活动成果或该组织或机构的某个部门的活动成果做出了具有重大意义的贡献。

如果此人在辅助性角色中的表现是（或曾经是）重要的，则可将其视为关键性角色。决定该角色是否（或曾经）重要的因素不是此人的职称，而是此人在该角色中的表现。

在这一标准中，对个人的领导或关键作用的重要性有切身了解的人所写的信，特别有助于官员作出这一决定，只要这些信包含详细的证明性信息，具体说明该人在组织、机构、部门或部门中的作用是如何发挥领导或关键作用的。经验证据必须包括雇主的信件。

其次，美国公民与移民服务局（USCIS）会确定此人担任领导职务或关键职务的组织或机构或部门是否享有杰出声誉。

一个组织或机构的相对规模或寿命本身并不是决定性因素，而是要与其他信息一起考虑，以确定是否存在杰出声誉。评估一个组织或机构声誉的其他相关因素还包括其客户群的规模或相关的媒体报道。

对于学术部门、项目和机构，官员还可将相关和可信的国家排名以及获得政府研究基金作为积极因素。

对于初创企业，官员可将该企业从政府实体、风险投资基金、天使投资人或其他此类资助者处获得与该初创企业所处阶段和行业通常获得的融资轮次相称的大量资金的证据，作为其杰出声誉的积极因素。

梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特在线词典对 "杰出 "的定义是 "以显赫、杰出或卓越为标志 "或 "与杰出人物相称"。
