Criteria, Violations and Student-Supervisor Co-authorship Dynamics
Description
When does somebody qualify to be listed as an author or co-author of a scholarly publication? Authorship and publication credit is the currency system of research and academic community, with both positive and negative implications. Bodies such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Council of Science Editors (CSE) and various disciplinary groups or journals have developed criteria for authorship. However, the fact that these criteria have been articulated does not mean that they are always met in practice. Due to the relentless pressure to publish (enhanced by research incentive schemes), instances of questionable authorship practices are often reported. It is crucially important for postgraduate students to be aware of these issues.
Workshop outline, Presented by Professor Jan Botha:
- The criteria that are used to determine authorship and the how these criteria are sometimes violated with questionable authorship practices.
- The features and findings of research on scholarship principles, practices and its implications.
- The principles of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) and authorship, with particular reference to co-authorship between postgraduate students and supervisors.
