Policies on Integrity, Ethics and Scholarship

Authorship

Assigning responsibility and giving credit for intellectual work constitutes good authorship practices. “Authorship is important to the reputation, academic promotion, and grant support of the individuals involved as well as to the strength and reputation of their institution.” (1996 President and Fellows of Harvard College. Materials adapted from the paper version of Faculty Policies on Integrity in Science.)
