Two authors of the same technical paper are listed thusly:
Иванов В.А. доктор технических наук, Ин-т странных дел
Иванов А.В. кандидат технических наук, Ин-т странных дел
(names and institutions are fictional)
Now, wee all know that the Russian "доктор наук" is a more advanced
degree than our doctorate. So if I call the кандидат наук "Doctor of
Engineering," what do I do with the доктор?
Thanks much.
