Ken,
Yes.
> I have heard of cases in which doctoral supervisors require PhD students to include their names on *anything* that they publish, even when the supervisors *have not* contributed content that warrants a signature under the standard research ethics policies.
This is, I am told, standard practice in many labs. The head of a lab is often listed as first author even if reading the paper is his first participation other than providing the venue for the research. I object to the habit of extending the definition of any disapproving word and the term "plagiarism" has fallen prey to this habit but this is, indeed, clearly the taking of credit for others’ work.
