Publishing Educational Research: Guidelines and Tips
Order of Authorship
●
●
●
●
You may choose to implement a point system for various
professional contributions, depending on the scholarly
importance. Typically, research design and report writing are
assigned the most points. To earn authorship credit, a contributor
must earn a certain number of points; the individual with the
highest number of points is granted first authorship.
"Authorship decisions should not be affected by whether students
or supervisors were paid for their contributions or by their
employment status." (Bridgewater, et. al., 1981).
With tact, consult with other faculty and peers when
authorship concerns arise. Don’t go behind your
supervisor’s back; however let them know that you plan
to talk to others about the dilemma. If decisions cannot be
reached amiably, then get a third party. Most universities
and colleges will have a specific person or committee
who deals with such matters, but they should be used as
a last resort. Consult Winston (1985) for a useful method.
Additional information can be obtained from the APA
manual.
