Authorship
decisions should be based on significant contributions to the work performed
in at least one of the following areas: theoretical development, concept,
or design, execution, modeling or simulation of processes, analysis and
interpretation of data, or preparation and revision of manuscript. As the
faculty advisor was not actively involved in the study (he was on sabbatical
for the majority of the study), listing him as first author appears to be
a case of honorary authorship. Honorary authorship is strongly discouraged
as it misrepresents the work of both the “honored” individual
as well as co-authors. |
