Authorship Survey
Importance of Intellectual Credit

Intellectual credit for scientific work is important in many industries and especially in academics. In an academic context, authorship on publications is typically the most powerful means used to denote intellectual recognition for students and faculty and thus is directly relevant to career progression and success.

Despite the increasing importance of authorship on publications and existing professional guidelines, there can be confusion over what constitutes an intellectual contribution and how to determine authorship order. More needs to be learned about how to prevent authorship disputes, how such disputes are best resolved, and how to facilitate open, collegial conversations about authorship especially between faculty and students.

Current Survey

In this 10-minute (completely online) research study (Study#002603, approved by USF IRB), we would like to gather thoughts from USF faculty members and graduate students across disciplines who engage in academic research. Responses of USF faculty members and graduate students can contribute to the broad conversation about authorship in academic research.

If you are a USF faculty member, you will not be compensated for your survey response. Nonetheless, your survey response will be greatly appreciated as it will help us better understand authorship-related issues. If you a graduate student AND is one of the first 120 graduate students who complete the survey, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card. If you are a graduate student AND is not one of the first 120 graduate students who complete the survey, you will not receive a $5 Amazon gift card.
