expert "on" and expert "in"

Hi, can you please explain me the difference between "expert in vs on".
E.g. an expert IN child psychology, an expert ON modern literature.
Thank you!

Anonymous C an you please explain me the difference ... I don't sense much difference between them. 'expert in' suggests 'in some field of study'.

  • 'expert in' suggests 'in some field of study'.
  • 'expert on' suggests 'on some topic'.
  • Many of the nouns that could follow can be taken either as a field of study or as a topic, so in many cases - maybe most cases - you can use either one.
