Is it correct to call a scientific project worked on during a vacation "Volunteer scientific work"? [closed]

During my vacation I worked on a scientific project. Since I would like to put it on my resume, I have added the following:

1- Volunteer scientific work: Implementation of salient Region Detector

Is it correct to say the project is a "Volunteer scientific work"? I want to say that I developed it myself during my vacation.

Solution 1:

I agree with LetsamrIt that "volunteer work" is not the right term. If your research was later taken up or recognized by a school or company or if it was published in a reputable publication, by all means, list in on your resume. If none of these was true, I'm not sure what to advise on whether or not to list your activity, nor how you should list it.
