He has been writing critically on the Philosophy of Science for many decades, and began publishing his extensive research in this area online, after establishing SHAPE Journal with Dr. Peter Mothersole and his son Mick Schofield, in 2009.
Before taking early retirement in the 1990s due to ill health, Schofield was Director of Information Technology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Prior to that post he worked in computer-aided research in many different fields including Mathematics, Biology, Engineering and Dance Education.
