I am presently working on a completed research entitled: "Improving the Vegetative Growth Response of Eggplants Using Organic Fertilizer with Effective Microbes and Laundry Waste Utilization Technology (OFEM-LUTech)" I am presently writing its publishable format. I am planning to include international collaborators / co-authors. Is it possible (ethical) to include in my manuscript an international collaborator / coauthors in the research I am working on. Their role specifically is to enhance the paper to be published. In exchange, they should also include me as a collaborator / co-author on their present research for publication, with a similar role to enhance your manuscript for publication, and other research-related tasks.
If this is possible and ethical, please recommend anyone, who are willing to collaborate with my research undertakings. I am hoping this will build partnership between my university and their Universities, and also for professional growth.
Let me know your thoughts on this potential collaboration.
In my opinion, that's NOT ethical.
Of course, it is a practice that, unfortunately, some people practice. And considering the wild requirements (in terms of number of publications) some universities/countries have for providing grants, tenures, etc. I can understand why. However, that still doesn't make it ethical.
Thank you for your answer prof Luis. That's my dilemma, and thank you for your insight.
