Dear Lois, Over here, The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research guides institutions and researchers in all disciplines in responsible research practices including authorship. Researchers within design have the same responsibilities and rights as researchers in other disciplines. The guideline is available here http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/guidelines/publications/r39 Section 5 concerns authorship, the passage relevant to your questions could be the following: -snip- Attribution of authorship depends to some extent on the discipline, but in all cases, authorship must be based on substantial contributions in a combination of: * conception and design of the project * analysis and interpretation of research data * drafting significant parts of the work or critically revising it so as to contribute to the interpretation. The right to authorship is not tied to position or profession and does not depend on whether the contribution was paid for or voluntary. It is not enough to have provided materials or routine technical support, or to have made the measurements on which the publication is based. Substantial intellectual involvement is required. -endsnip- Regards Luke Feast PhD Candidate Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne Australia On 29 February 2012 12:32, Lois Frankel <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I am looking for examples of guidelines attributing authorship and co-authorship in the field of design.
