    • Description

    The quest for innovation is uniting the world, with several scientific minds across the globe choosing to collaborate on research studies. However, it is not always clear how the credit is shared. This confusion or lack of awareness about authorship criteria, especially among early career researchers, often leads to difficult situations involving authorship disputes.

    This training program introduces you to the basics of authorship criteria and address your questions and concerns through a series of handpicked scenario-based case studies. Each case study is supplemented with small quizzes so that you can assess your own clarity on the subject. The program also presents you with useful resources that every author should be familiar with.
