This is especially appropriate if one of the collaborators is new to the publishing process. This is especially true in faculty-student collaborations, when students may need intensive supervision or additional analyses may need to be conducted beyond the scope of a student's thesis or dissertation. Each author listed in the byline of an article should review the entire manuscript before it is submitted. Authors are responsible for determining authorship and for specifying the order in which two or more author's names appear in the byline. The general rule is that the name of the principal contributor should appear first, with subsequent names in order of decreasing contribution.
Authors are also responsible for the factual accuracy of their contributions.
The opinions and statements published are the responsibility of the authors, and such opinions and statements do not necessarily represent the policies of the publishing journal or the views of the editors. Grievance Procedure Should conflicts of opinion arise regarding authorship between students and faculty members, the following grievance process is available. All authors should meet with the graduate group chair, who will act as mediator. Upon the request of one of the authors, the departmental chair may be included in the deliberations. If the graduate group chair is a faculty author, the department chair will assume the role of mediator.
