New paper finds authorship disputes start early and get worse: https://t.co/8hAvaAolQd As I’ve suggested, academics need to create alternative dispute resolution pathways: https://t.co/8cpFkXaoeu
@TrevorABranch @Atunci_CoV The average number of co-authors had gone up in every single area of science I know. See the 7 refs in paragraph 4 of Background: https://t.co/8cpFkXaoeu
@Mary__Darly Yup. I wrote a few years ago: “The combination of many people given vague guidance about distributing limited resources (e.g., first authorships) with clear career consequences make authorship disputes a completely predictable outcome.” https:
My problem is that “guidelines” are never deployed in this way. Offended parties insist that some handful of “best practices” has to be the law applied to any and all situations. And I’ve yet to see guidelines that cover even the small range of cultural pr
I am happy 😁 to have contributed to this paper on managing authorship disputes: https://t.co/CMi4QXKvI8 But the burden of solving authorship problems should NOT sit only with the authors. We need more ways to support people in disputes: https://t.co/7mj3
@drkarenforbes Currently, communication is kind of the ONLY arrow in the quiver when it comes to author disputes. I wish there were more ways to settling disputes: https://t.co/7mj3dtagn6
That women get into authorship disputes more often - DESPITE trying to prevent them - supports the argument that we need more ways to help authors resolve disputes and support authors with less power: https://t.co/8cpFkXaoeu 3/6

Untested hypothesis about authorship disputes: that they are resolved more often to the satisfaction of an author when that author is a white man. https://t.co/7mj3dtagn6

Authorship disputes are apparently not so uncommon. Here’s a paper that explains why they happen, customs associated with authorship order, current and missing guidance on resolutions, and how to approach solving them!

"Researchers fear authorship discussions"? Predictable outcome: authorship disputes. Little known to ECRs: Nobody wants to help them in disputes. Predictable outcome: Research community trust corrodes. Suggestion: Do more than hope authors play nice.
