Abstract

Through a series of interviews with with staff, student advocates and doctoral candidates working in health research in two universities in Australia, researchers sought to learn how individuals decided who should be included as an author on a published paper. The interviewees revealed a wide variety of reasons for attribution of authorship including: writing the paper; seniority; and student supervision. Gift authorship was seen by some participants as: a way of maintaining relationships; a reward; a means to increase a paper''s credibility; or a demonstration of collaboration between authors.
