Scientific coauthorship

Inappropriate coauthorship is the rule in the academic community. As a result, funding is diverted from young people with fresh ideas and science becomes stale.

This site lists research about inappropriate coauthorship - statistics of undeserving academic authors. I just started the list and expect to add many other relevant manuscripts (if you have a manuscript to add, please email a pdf file to etarnowATSIGNavabiz.com

So far, nothing has changed in the scientific community - the prevalence of inappropriate coauthorship is the same as it was.
