Authorship dilemmas and questionable co-authorship practices
To be included as an author of an academic publication implies responsibility for the work that is reported. Responsibility in the sense that one deserves the merit to have the publication in one’s CV, but also in the sense that one is to be held accountable in case the publication is found faulty. This means that authorship is both valuable, important and to be taken seriously. There are suggested criteria for when someone is to be listed as an author, but what more specifically does it take to fulfill these criteria? What differences in authorship norms exist between disciplines? How can authorship conflicts best be prevented and handled? Are all authors of a paper to be held accountable, and risk sanctions, if problems are discovered?
In this webinar we will address these questions. Mats Johansson will introduce the topic in a presentation, followed by time for questions and discussion where all webinar participants are welcome to contribute.
The webinar is primarily intended for researchers and others within Stockholm Trio.
The webinar will be in English and in Zoom. Link will be sent to registered participants.
The webinar is organised within the University Alliance Stockholm Trio, a partnership between Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. You may reach the organising team via etik@fs.su.se .
