It is especially infuriating when companies sponsor research - 10 people that did nothing usually are listed as authors. | |
| Feb 16, 2022 at 13:39 | comment | added | onepound | did you contribute to the actual research? if not you do not really have any claim to the paper. Papers list the authors research contribution even if it is assumed not labour. A company might of say manufactured the project that does not mean they will get anything more than an acknowledgement. Same goes with writing. I know this is not what you'd like to hear and I do not necessarily agree with your treatment it's just my experience has been thus even though I researched at a world leading university. ... | |

| Feb 14, 2022 at 7:22 | comment | added | Jyrki Lahtonen | What was your role in the production of the content of the article? Did you just typeset the handwritten text given to you? Or was the content something you created from scratch? Something in-between? Talk with your immediate supervisor 1-on-1, and ask for their opinion as to whether you should be included. They can explain their views. | |
