<strong>Publishing</strong> <strong>Educational</strong> <strong>Research</strong>: <strong>Guidelines</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Tips</strong><br />
Authorship Defined<br />
●<br />
●<br />
Initial guidelines by the <strong>American</strong> Psychological Association’s<br />
(APA) Ethics Committee (1983) defined authorship as being<br />
warranted when a participant made a "substantial contribution" to<br />
a project.<br />
Since "substantial contribution" leaves much to interpretation, the<br />
APA revised <strong>and</strong> elaborated on those guidelines in 1992. Those<br />
guidelines, as presented in the APA Ethical Principles of<br />
Psychologists <strong>and</strong> Code of Conduct (Section 6.23, Publication<br />
Credit), state that:<br />
"Principle authorship <strong>and</strong> other publication credits<br />
[must] accurately reflect the relative scientific or<br />
professional contributions of the individuals involved,<br />
regardless of their relative status... Minor contributions<br />
to the research or to the writing for publication are<br />
appropriately acknowledged, such as in footnotes or in an<br />
introductory statement."<br />
Furthermore, "A student is usually listed as principle<br />
author on any multiple-authored article that is based<br />
primarily on the student’s dissertation or thesis."<br />

According to the APA, dissertation supervisors may be included<br />
as authors on a student’s publication of a part of a dissertation<br />
when they make "substantial contributions," but that terminology<br />
is quite open to interpretation.<br />
●<br />
Suffice to say that students must discuss authorship<br />
considerations early in any project, whether the project includes<br />
faculty <strong>and</strong>/or other graduate students. It is vital for each<br />
participant to be professional in conduct, <strong>and</strong> honest with<br />
expectations.<br />
