| Feb 13, 2022 at 14:15 | comment | added | rg_software | @PLL, I agree with that, and that's I said "I'd express your disappointment" -- so I support the OP's wish to renegotiate. However, the OPs might recognize that from the other party's view there was no plan to offer an authorship, and this kind of complaint might turn up to be a surprise for them, too. In any case, I advise the same as most other people here: negotiate in advance, not afterwards. | |
| Feb 13, 2022 at 12:19 | comment | added | PLL | @rg_software: Sometimes life happens and responsibilities change without anyone finding the right moment to re-negotiate — and in most reasonably fair environments, some kind of credit can still be given afterwards. If OP was asking for extra pay, say, then I’d agree with you — that’s unlikely to be re-negotiable after the fact. But co-authorship is a completely reasonable expectation here, and in any academic setting I know, it would be unethical for the other authors to exclude OP (if their account is accurate). | |
