Scientific and academic <\/span><\/span>authorship<\/span><\/span><\/span> in research<\/span><\/span><\/span> publishing<\/span><\/span> is a critical part of a researcher\u2019s career. However, the concept of <\/span><\/span>authorship in research<\/span><\/span><\/span> p<\/span>ublication <\/span><\/span>can be confusing for early career researchers, who often find it difficult to assess whether their or others\u2019 contribution to a project are enough to warrant authorship. Today, there are more opportunities than ever to collaborate with researchers, not just across the globe but also across different disciplines and even those outside academia. This rapid growth in the number of global research collaborations, <\/span><\/span>and<\/span><\/span><\/span> has also led to an increase in the number of authors per<\/span><\/span> paper.1<\/sup> For instance, a paper that was published on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN set the record for the largest author list with over 5,000 authors.2 <\/sup>Such cases act as catalysts for ongoing discussions among the research community <\/span>about <\/span><\/span>authorship in research<\/span><\/span> and <\/span>who should and who shouldn\u2019t be credited and held accountable for published research.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
