Ethics of authorship of scientific papers
Abstract:
My nephew, who works as a research scientist in a reputable medical organisation, asked me, 'What were the rules governing authorship of a scientific paper in your time?' 'What do you mean?' 'How did you decide who should be the authors of a scientific paper?' 'There are no rules. You decide by way of convention followed in your institution.'
