Publishing Educational Research: Guidelines and Tips
Process Recomendations
Faculty Working with Students
●
●
The student may defer to your judgement regarding authorship,
the topic, or tone of the research and the writing. Be aware that it
is your responsibility to revisit these issues and decisions
throughout the project, especially if you and the student realize
that the initial idea or conceptual framework for the article (which
may have come from the student) is changing as a result of
YOUR influence and knowledge. Be proactive in this area, due to
the unequal relationship between faculty and students. It is
common for the latter to be too timid to bring up these issues on
their own, thereby sabotaging their own development as a
researcher and writer.
Make sure that you and the student(s) assess the specific
abilities of each party, the tasks required to complete the
scholarly publication, the extent of supervision required,
and the appropriate expectations for what each
collaborator can reasonably contribute to the project.

On the basis of this assessment, all parties should
discuss and agree on what tasks, contributions, and
efforts are required to warrant authorship. Although this
process may not prevent disagreements from arising,
such discussions may reduce their likelihood. Think of your
negotiation on a project as being similar to a researcher’s
contract of "informed consent" with a participant in a study. Keep
each other informed!
