The Authorship Determination Process in Student-Faculty Collaborative Research

This quantitative study provides a description of current and best practices for authorship determination in student-faculty collaborative research. Doctoral students and faculty (N = 1,009) in education-related disciplines indicated how authorship decisions are made in common practice, how authorship decisions should be made, and their levels of comfort with the process. Their responses highlighted complexities inherent in student-faculty collaborations and informed practical recommendations for counselor educators and students.
