Research cultures that actively exert pressure to publish and emphasise quantity over quality encourage unethical practices that aim to inflate CVs and dishonestly gain author credit. Duplicate publishing and salami slicing are among questionable research/publication practices, so-called because they are deemed less serious than the commonly regarded fraudulent practices of fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. Unethical authorship practices include guest, gift, and ghost authorship, as well as not obtaining consent from co-authors and adding fake names as co-authors. It could be argued that these practices count as fraud because they involve falsification or fabrication of the author byline and/or plagiarism of content. Likewise, knowingly publishing in predatory journals or using paper mills to buy or sell authorship could be classed as fraudulent authorship.
In this session, two guest speakers (one from an institution and one from a journal) will cover ways of promoting ethical authorship and preventing fraudulent authorship. The CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) system, authorship definitions and policies, and relevant operating procedures and education will be reviewed from institutional and publishing perspectives.
