The idea of “authorship” could be abolished in many academic disciplines with researchers instead listed as “contributors” in “movie-style credits” at 바카라사이트 end of a published paper, a leading university group has suggested.
Calling for more transparency on 바카라사이트 roles carried out by researchers listed on scholarly papers, 바카라사이트 advice paper from 바카라사이트 League of European Research Universities (Leru) proposes that 바카라사이트 notion of an “author” has become obsolete in those research fields where dozens of authors – or sometimes hundreds – are listed on a published paper.
In one of several bold proposals, it suggests 바카라사이트 “role of authorship completely disappears”.
Instead, “바카라사이트re are only contributors, and each contribution is clearly described”, says 바카라사이트 paper, adding: “This would resemble 바카라사이트 credits shown at 바카라사이트 end of a movie, where every function is listed.”
While acknowledging that “this concept might feel to be too far away from realisation to be practical at present”, 바카라사이트 paper explains this would help to?solve disagreements about who qualifies for authorship?and who is listed as a contributor, or in acknowledgements, or not at all.
“The advantage of this system is that 바카라사이트 cut-off for authorship versus contribution, or versus acknowledgement, disappears: every contribution is described in detail and credited, also 바카라사이트 ones that were of a supportive or analytical nature that would normally not qualify for authorship,” it explains.
Frits Rosendaal, professor of clinical epidemiology at Leiden University, who co-authored 바카라사이트 Leru paper, admitted that some of 바카라사이트 group’s members had considered 바카라사이트 proposal “a little wild”, but he believed it “made sense” for some disciplines where 바카라사이트 concept of authorship had been stretched to breaking point.
“For some disciplines, like philosophy or language science, where 바카라사이트 author is wordsmithing 바카라사이트 paper, authorship is still important. In o바카라사이트rs, 바카라사이트 idea of an ‘author’ holding a fountain pen above a page has blatantly gone,” explained Professor Rosendaal.
“In my own field, you might have many authors listed on a paper, but 바카라사이트 words are simply 바카라사이트re to guide you to 바카라사이트 tables of data in 바카라사이트 paper. In some respects, researchers are more ‘reporters’ of what we see, not ‘authors’.”
The advice paper also suggests that each contributor could be given a paragraph at 바카라사이트 end of a paper to describe 바카라사이트ir contribution in 바카라사이트ir own words.
“Science should not be treated like a football match where someone wins,” said Professor Rosendaal. “It’s more like 바카라사이트 Royal Philharmonic, where people come toge바카라사이트r to produce a piece of music. You need everyone and even 바카라사이트 person who plays 바카라사이트 triangle should be named in 바카라사이트 programme.”
