  APA Style | Determining Authorship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The importance of authorship in the faculty—student research context was underscored by Goodyear, Crego, and Johnston (1992), who found that authorship issues were among the "critical incidents" identified by experienced researchers in faculty—student research collaborations.
If authorship expectations are clearly established and agreed on early in the collaborative process, both the supervisor and the student have given their informed consent to participate in the project (Goodyear et al., 1992).
Authorship decisions should be based on the scholarly importance of the professional contribution and not just the time and effort made (Bridgewater et al., 1981).

 Shakespearean authorship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Around one hundred and fifty years after William Shakespeare's death in 1616, doubts began to be expressed by some about the authorship of the plays and poetry attributed to him.
The debate, such as it is, is unresolved, with standard scholarship noting that the theories of ghost authorship began to develop two centuries or more after Shakespeare's death while anti-Stratfordians claim evidence of a "cover-up" during the lifetime of the author.
A sign of the great interest taken in the authorship question even in today's era where Shakespeare's plays must compete with a vast array of other media for attention is the tremendous press attention paid to this discovery, which made the New York Times and other headlines.

Gift authorship which has been bestowed as either a tribute or as a ploy for recognition, within the context of a reciprocal exchange or as the consequence of a dependence, is distinctly different from guest authorship which has been paid for.
As such, gift authorship is more difficult to eradicate, a process which will involve the direct participation, or at least the agreement, of research institutions and funding agencies, in addition to a process of weaning away from long-standing academic tradition.

 ICMJE - Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published.
On the other hand, if editors knowingly publish a manuscript written by only some of a collaborating team, they could be denying the rest of the team their legitimate co authorship rights; they could also be denying the journal’s readers access to legitimate differences of opinion about the interpretation of a study.
Two kinds of competing submissions are considered: submissions by coworkers who disagree on the analysis and interpretation of their study, and submissions by coworkers who disagree on what the facts are and which data should be reported.

Studies of authorship in science suggest that traditional criteria for authorship no longer reflect the way research is actually done.
Although published guidelines on authorship have existed for decades, investigations reveal that they are not followed consistently, and many researchers remain unaware of them.
The reality seems to be that definitions of what contributions merit authorship vary from one department to another within institutions, as well as among institutions and scientific disciplines.

 The authorship dilemma: who gets credit for what?
Fueling the discord over authorship is the "extraordinary" pressure on junior researchers to author more research papers sooner than they had to in years past, says McGue.
The rules of authorship are similar in other social sciences, but they differ slightly in the biological sciences, in which the last author is typically the intellectual force behind the project and the first author is the one who did the empirical work, says McGue.
She notes that the practice sometimes leads to problems of gift authorship in which people who haven’t really worked on the project are named because they hold important positions, such as head of a research department or principal investigator on a grant.

 Mosaic Authorship of the Pentateuch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In Catholicism, the dogma of Mosaic authorship was enshrined in the modern period by the Pontifical Biblical Commission (1906).
Modern translations not bound by confessional obligations to the tradition of Mosaic authorship (e.g., the Jewish Publication Society TaNaKh [1985] and the NRSV [1989]) dispense with the introduction, which is not found in the Hebrew text of the Bible.
The modern critical rejection of Mosaic authorship is often traced to the work of a French priest, Richard Simon (1638–1712), who was expelled from the Oratorian order for his liberalities.

The article argues that name of a prestigious person as author tends to enhance the visibility of a publication and perceived legitimacy of its findings, so others are likely to seek collaboration or at least co-authorship with such people, but the credit tends to then go to the well-known person.

 Joint Authorship Doctrine
When more than one person is involved in the authorship process the identity of the authors, and the "rights and duties" of the authors may not be so obvious.
The "joint authorship" doctrine involves a "sharing" of rights, although hopefully, especially if the publisher is a co-author, it is a deliberate sharing of rights and not an inadvertent loss of the publisher's complete ownership of rights in the work of authorship.
The Copyright Act provides for joint authorship when a work is prepared by more than one author "with the intention that their contributions be merged into inseparable or interdependent parts of a unitary whole".

 The Council of Science Editors (CSE) - Services: Authorship Task Force: A new standard for authorship
We emphasize that no one of these contributions constitutes the basis for authorship, but that it requires two or three, the appropriate minimum depending on individual circumstances, such as the number of authors.
Note that some contributions formerly properly relegated to the acknowledgments section are included, but that those who participated in only one category would move from the authors' byline to the acknowledgments.
According to the contributions to authorship requirements, someone whose only contribution to a paper was writing would only merit acknowledgment, but more comprehensive contributions, such as adding the literature search and critical revision of the manuscript, might be considered worthy of authorship.
