  1. Co-authoring Group 3 – Benny, Tao, Ruth

  2. Who is an author “Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3.”

  3. Why is it important? • Indication of the quality of the paper • Merit when applying for a position • Who is responsible in case of misconduct Source: Good Research Practice: The Swedish Research Council’s expert group on ethics

  4. Benefits of coauthoring • Piggy back on experienced authors • Increase knowledge and establish reputation • Assistance with writing and editing • Foster relationships with other researchers • Necessary in multi disciplinary projects • To get published • Opportunity to mentor younger researchers • Allow different perspective on the topic

  5. Possible problems • Wrongly assuming that you have the same idea as your co-author on the writing approach. • Waiting on your co-author to send you his or her parts. • Sorting out areas of disagreement in content and word-choice. • Sequence of authors on the paper

  6. For successful collaboration • Austin and Baldwin (1992) • Selected based on interests and skills • Define the division of labour • Guidelines should be established and agreed by all • Project must have a termination point

  7. A model problem • I amcertainthat my coauthor is wrong on a part of the paper, however the coauthordoes not realisethisalthoughpointedout. The author is an unknown researcher and the coauthor is known.

  9. Coauthor/Reader

  10. Conclusion • It wouldseemthat the option totake is to "override my coauthor". Since in thisway I wouldhave a correctresult, goodopportunity for a career, and will be viewedmore or less as an ethical researcher. I willfurther research, and in the long runfeelgoodaboutmyself. Besides I alsofurther my coauthorsmerits, eventhough I mightupsethim/her.
