J. Scott Long is an American sociologist who is a distinguished professor of statistics and sociology at Indiana University Bloomington. Long completed his undergraduate degree at Juniata College in 1973. This was followed by graduate education at Cornell University, where Long finished both his masters in 1973 and Ph.D. in 1977. During his career, he has held appointments at Cornell University and Washington State University before coming to Indiana University in 1989. His career began by studying the dynamics of how doctoral graduates progress through scientific fields using data collected from biochemists.

Long has published over seventy peer-reviewed works in the field.
