Autoria em artigos científicos: Os novos desafios

Abstract

The dissemination of the practice of collaborative authorship (co-authorship) in Brazil and in the international scientific community has been accompanied by an increasing occurrence of frauds, manipulations and other deviations in the assignment of responsibility for a scientific paper. This article discusses the criteria for authorship attribution, the reasons for the growing indices of co-authorship and the challenges to determine authorship in electronic journals. Through literature review and case study (bibliographic search in the scientific database), it has been shown ways to avoid that "misbehaviour" deviance regarding the authorship attribution affect the credibility of science.
