Abstract

Authors who write with others often encounter author-citation problems. Who should be and who should not be listed as an author? When is acknowledgment rather than authorship appropriate? Should the most well-known person always be listed first? How should faculty who help students publish be listed? This experienced author, coauthor, reviewer, and editor, provides answers to these questions.
