Authorship: why not just toss a coin?

TL;DR: The methodology for building the community and spurring research from the African continent, as well as the success of the community in terms of addressing the identified problems affecting African NLP are discussed.

TL;DR: The Contributor Attribution Model (CAM), which provides a simple data model that relates the contributor to research objects via the role that they played, as well as the provenance of the information, is introduced.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore disciplinary variation in valuation practices by comparing the way research groups accumulate credibility across four epistemic cultures and find significant differences in the manifestation of the six main resources that are part of the cycle, the mechanisms of conversion between these resources, the overall structure and the average speed of the credibility cycle.

TL;DR: Juxtaposing bibliometric benchmarks with current baselines may assist the development of harmonized guidelines and transparent transnational quality assurance procedures for doctoral programs by providing a robust and meaningful standard for further exploration of the causes of intra- and inter-institutional variation in the amount of unbiased authorship credit per dissertation.

TL;DR: It is found that the threshold for cheating is low among medical students, and a “pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential” to encourage professional conduct and minimise fraud.

TL;DR: The extent of the problem is estimated, the techniques that could be used to clean up the authors' collective act are mapped out, and the convergence of journals' electronic submission systems with the new computational tools being developed to detect duplications is mapped out.

TL;DR: A survey of anesthesiology publications related to Rofecoxib reveals instances of guest authorship and ghostwriting, highlighting concerns about authorship integrity and potential biases in medical research.
