Unfair authorship is one of the most common violations of the publication ethics. These violations comprise «guest», «donated» and «invisible» authorship when the author line indicates the persons that actually are not the authors, or, instead lacks actual executors of studies. This phenomenon is characteristic for the world as a whole; however the developing states striving to carry science to a new level, are the most vulnerable. This is due to inefficient science management, in particular due to formal approach to researcher efficiency evaluation, due to the citation and publication activity indicators use when employing staff, career promotion, giving grants, etc. Scientific and publication communities develop approaches to fight unfair authorship, including implementation of special authorship indicators, new regulations and instructions for editors, reviewers and authors. The bibliometrical approaches are also seen as promising ones. The current status of the problems and solutions are characterized. |
