Appendix - Science Keywords
The Tables in this Appendix list the Science Keywords that are valid for use in the APT proposal preparation.
Within a panel, proposals are assigned to individual reviewers based on the reviewers' expertise and based partly on the keywords given in the proposal and partly on analysis of the proposal text. Generally, the more keywords the proposer selects the better the match to reviewers' expertise. Proposals can designate both a Scientific Category and an Alternate Category. Designating an Alternate Category enables usage of keywords from multiple categories. STScI reserves the right to re-classify proposals.
For additional information on the proposal sorting into each panel, see JWST Proposal Selection Procedures. The JWST Scientific Categories and Keywords were developed using the Unified Astronomy Thesaurus.
