Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hello, Few more points on the issue of authorship taken for fair use from-www.csu.edu.au/research/policy/author... 1. Agree on authorship – Collaborating researchers should agree on authorship of a publication at an early stage in the research project and should review their decisions periodically. 2. Include all authors - Researchers must offer authorship to all people, including research trainees, who meet the criteria for authorship. Those offered authorship must accept or decline in writing. 3. Do not allow unacceptable inclusions of authorship Authorship should not be offered to those who do not meet the requirements. For example, none of the following justifies including a person as an author: being head of department, holding other positions of authority, or personal friendship with the authors providing a technical contribution but no other intellectual input to the project or publication providing routine assistance in some aspects of the project, the acquisition of funding or general supervision of the research team providing data that has already been published or materials obtained from third parties, but with no other intellectual input. 4. Acknowledge other contributions fairly Researchers must ensure that all those who have contributed to the research, facilities or materials are properly acknowledged, such as research assistants and technical writers. Where individuals are to be named, their written consent must be obtained. I think enough has been said on this aspect. We will now shift focus on Inclusion of Tables and figures in a paper. kunda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
