Authors without Borders

Abstract

This resource, Authors Without Borders: Guidelines for Discussion Authorship with Collaborators, intends to (i) enhance awareness of ethical issues associated with authorship that researchers might face in collaborative projects, (ii) assist in the identification of frequent sources of misunderstanding associated with authorship that can result in conflicts, and (iii) contribute to the development of guidelines for discussion that can serve as a basis for proactive, ethical and culturally sensitive conversations about co-authorship.
