Hi. I am looking for a table of metrics that I saw once at a presentation a long time ago... effectively it assigned values to people's contributions towards a journal article/review - and by adding up the scores you could determine whether someone was actually worthy of having their name on the publication as an author. I cannot find this graph after a bit of searching and would appreciate if anyone has the link to it, or something similar. Thank you. James
I hope you would find these guidelines from the European Association of Science Editors (EASE) helpful even though this is not exactly a graph:
http://www.ease.org.uk/publications/ease-toolkit-authors/how-determine-who-should-be-author-paper
Also the material on these two web pages contains a fairly brief and to-the-point discussion of the criteria for determining authorship according to the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org):
https://louisville.edu/environmentalgenomics/bioinformatics-biostatistics-computational-biology-facility-core/guidelines-for-determining-co-authorship.html
http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/rcr/rcr_authorship/foundation/#2
as well as this RG discussion:
http://www.researchgate.net/post/Who_should_be_among_co-authors_of_the_scientific_paper
These articles from Nature Materials also could be of some use:
http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v7/n2/full/nmat2112.html

Hi James,
I remember seeing a similar table years ago as well, and would love to get my hands on it. I haven't found anything quite like it in my own searches. Did you end up finding it?
Kind regards,
Susannah
Hi Susannah
No luck with the original table unfortunately. I really thought it would be more widespread? Anyway, I found something in the same vein...

just email me if you can't open the link and I'll flick you the pdf.
Tables 3 and 4 are handy.
cheers
James
Hi James,
That paper is quite handy actually. Thanks!
Cheers,
Susannah
I had the same problem. Came across a great table online a few weeks ago but now I can't find it...
However, Article A Suggested Procedure for Determining Order of Authorship In...
by Winston (1985) is quite similar to what I was thinking of, just with the values filled in (rather than in the form of a template).- Badges
