Middle author dilemma: How to recognize critical contributions of multidisciplinary teams
This presentation will address challenges in giving credit to individuals that participate in multidisciplinary research, and particularly why this is a difficult and important challenge for early career researchers, whose job applications, promotions, and grant funding rely on a large number of first or last author papers.
Hyper-authored Articles: Trends, Issues & Logistics
The number of hyper-authored papers published in the sciences is on the rise. While no clear numerical definition of hyper-authorship exists, this trend has impacts ranging from publication logistics, to how authorship is regarded. This presentation will give an overview of the trends, issues, and logistics in hyper-authored papers with the goal of increasing understanding of this type of authorship. I will also address a simple option for including ORCID iDs in hyper-authored papers.
