Abstract:
Coercion authorship (CA), typically enforced by principal investigators, has detrimental effects on graduate students, young researchers, and the entire scientific endeavor. Although CA is ubiquitous, its occurrence and major determinants have been mainly explored among graduate students and junior scientists in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark where the ratio of CA ranged from 13 to 40%. In addition to lacking comparable figures, developing countries usually lack institutional plans for promoting integrity and effective deterrents against CA and other malpractices. Hence, universities and research centers therein must publish their authorship policies and implement specific strategies to instruct graduate students, junior scientists, and experienced researchers on integrity, publishing ethics, and responsible authorship. Finally, I remark that the primary responsibility of principal researchers to promote fair authorship practices and discourage unfair ones is even greater when it comes to CA due to the asymmetrical power relationship between senior authors and novice scientists.
摘要:
强制作者(CA),通常由主要调查员强制执行,对研究生有不利影响,年轻的研究人员,和整个科学努力。虽然CA无处不在,它的发生和主要决定因素主要在瑞典的研究生和初级科学家中进行了探索,挪威,和丹麦,CA的比例从13%到40%不等。除了缺乏可比数字外,发展中国家通常缺乏促进廉正和有效威慑CA和其他弊端的机构计划。因此,其中的大学和研究中心必须公布他们的作者政策,并实施具体的策略来指导研究生,初级科学家,和经验丰富的诚信研究人员,出版伦理,负责任的作者。最后,我认为,由于高级作者和新手科学家之间的不对称权力关系,在CA方面,主要研究人员促进公平的作者实践和阻止不公平的作者实践的主要责任更大。
