HEP Authorship Survey
Introduction
As HEP Collaborations supporting major experiments grow, there is
increasing concern about authorship of scientific publications. The
Commission of Particles and Fields (C11) of IUPAP has formed an ad-hoc
Working Group (WG), made up of representatives of the major HEP
collaborations and a few members of C11, to examine current practices
and potential alternatives. For obvious reasons C11 of IUPAP will not
and cannot establish rules. It can at best raise conscientiousness and
outline proposals and possibly guidelines.
