Title:
Irresponsible Coauthorship

Summary:
The question, “Why do certain people who are otherwise completely honest and ethical allow themselves to be involved with the cheating that is inherent in irresponsible coauthorship?”, has no simple answer. The notions that most people do it and it is considered acceptable by many are part of the answer. These are the same excuses used by people who would not steal money, but who cheat on their income tax.
