An academic, or scientific, genealogy, organizes a family tree of scientists and scholars according to dissertation supervision relationships. Academic genealogy relationships in all education disciplines, are adjunct to genealogy and worldwide family history; LC classification: auxiliary science of history.
Such projects have been well developed for Mathematicians and some branches of Chemistry and Physics, and specific databases do exist in the web.
In some cases the links in such databases are not supported by documentary evidence and they are closer to academic or collaborative relationships. Also, the dissertation advising methodology was not equally implemented in all universities. Notably, the University of Cambridge did not require a formal doctoral thesis until 1919, and thus academic genealogy authorities tend to substitute an equivalent mentor.
