Collaborative projects that include many participants can have unique challenges to determining authorship on manuscripts. The EREN Board of Directors believes that specifying a clear authorship policy and guidelines for project participants at the start of a collaborative project are critical steps to avoiding authorship conflicts and creating an inclusive and equitable research team. To that end, we have developed EREN Authorship Policy and Contributor Guidelines to help EREN Projects design policies that fit their particular research goals.
If project teams have questions about the policy and guidelines, feel free to reach out to erenteam@gmail.com.
