Acknowledging Collaboration

GLEON’s success depends on collaborations among its members which asks for mutual trust. GLEON members are encouraged to be broadly inclusive and cognizant that knowledge and data sharing presents opportunities for collaboration and co-authorship. Co-authorship, or an offer of co-authorship, may be appropriate in instances where knowledge and data are used, or intellectual contribution is derived from the activities of GLEON.

Authorship in GLEON

  • Be inclusive and invitational, co-authorship requires proactivity

  • Start with discussion on co-authorships at the start of the project

  • Express co-authorship expectations

  • Use an established template to assess and assign authorship roles (e.g., GLEON authorship contribution template, implementations of CRediT : CRediTas, tenzing, etc.)

  • Frequently revisit authorship contributions and expectations
