Authorship and Publications
Guidelines for authorship and scientific publication are available from a number of sources - they may be structured or informal and vary across scientific disciplines. At a minimum, all forms of publication should present: a full and fair description of the work, an accurate report of the results, and an honest assessment of the findings.
