Speaker
Description
This 90-minute workshop focuses on authorship in the context of good scientific practice. Participants will reflect on general aspects of research integrity and scientific misconduct and examine the roles and responsibilities associated with authorship. Based on international and institutional guidelines (e.g. DFG, Leipzig University, COPE, ICMJE), the workshop compares authorship criteria and discusses their different interpretations and applications. Problematic practices such as honorary authorship, author and citation cartels will be identified and critically assessed. Participants will be encouraged to develop practical strategies and recommendations for fair and transparent authorship attribution and to reflect on how to prevent authorship conflicts in collaborative research settings. The workshop combines short inputs with interactive elements to promote critical thinking and peer exchange.
