Guest guest Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks Smita for coming in. I was getting bored by unilaterally sending my posts on NetRUM.The topic becomes interesting only when it is interactive. Gift authorship is widely prevalent in our medical colleges. One staff member actively does the work and others are usually " sleeping partners " who wake up to get the co-authorship. Most of the HODs also usually do nothing but are gifted co-authorship by the subordinates. The problem is more with the current system where caste scores higher over merit in getting the promotions and unfortunately incompetent teachers come to occupy the HOD's chairs. They usually thrive in forcing the juniors to continue giving them gift authorship, else there is trouble in survival!
