Details

The workshop offers participants a guide for building healthy authorship practices within their own institutional contexts. It is based on NSF-supported research at our large, publicly-funded US university. Outline: 1. Greetings; outline of problematic authorship issues; overview of project. (30 min) 2. Small group discussions to meet and discuss challenges; report-out to larger group (15 min) 3. Authorship Policy: In small groups, participants consider a model authorship policy and discuss suitable options and potential obstacles. Subsequent full-group discussion will allow for mutual learning and strategizing. (35 minutes) 4. Authorship Agreements: Participants will engage in a role-playing exercise to determine authorship on a fictional article. Subsequent full-group discussion will consider which elements of agreements would work at a participant’s institution (30 minutes) 5. Authorship Course: Participants will be introduced to our online course; small groups will identify feasible elements for their institution. (30 minutes) 6. Dispute process: In a full-group discussion, participants will discuss a model dispute process; evaluate a case study; and identify mechanisms at their institutions to support an authorship dispute resolution process. (25 minutes) 7. Promotion: building coalitions, identifying champions, and other success techniques will be discussed and situated in participants’ own institutional contexts. (15 minutes)
