Some colleagues have told me about their experience working through publishing their papers in various journal and encountered some editors that asked them for co-authorship in their papers.
The major reason is they already contribute a lot in revising the papers or something similar to that reason.
Have you ever got similar experience? What will you do?
Any consideration is appreciated.
No, and that's really surprising to hear about. It's very common for editors and reviewers to be thanked in an Acknowledgments section (whether named or anonymously), but I've never heard of an editor being added as co-author. Even if they're providing a lot service to the paper in terms of communication, that sort of contribution, much like translation services, belong in the Acknowledgements, at least in my opinion.
T. Will Richardson Thanks for your opinion.... It is surprisingly, but it did happen
