This article examines the diversity of methods in authorship attribution through a lens which focuses attention on a single common element. The current state of authorship attribution study is spread throughout so many academic and non -academic disciplines that it is nigh impossible to describe all of the various assumptions about language and authorship. The disciplines involved in authorship...

It has been proposed that inferring personal authorship for an event gives rise to intentional binding, a perceptual illusion in which one's action and inferred effect seem closer in time than they otherwise would (Haggard, Clark, & Kalogeras, 2002). Using a novel, naturalistic paradigm, we conducted two experiments to test this hypothesis and examine the relationship between binding and self-r...

IF YOU ARE READING THIS COMMENTARY, the title probably irked your professional sensibilities. That's good. During 32 years of publishing, I've experienced two authorship disputes. Both of these problems have demonstrated to me that there is a disturbing and pervasive lack of understanding of what authorship on scientific papers means, of the responsibilities that it conveys, and of how it is de...

OBJECTIVES To assess the knowledge and behaviour of researchers regarding criteria for authorship, and the practices of ghost and gift authorship. DESIGN Semidirective interviews of senior clinical researchers. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-nine main investigators of clinical research programmes. MAIN MEASUREMENTS Awareness and use of International Committee of Medica...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to retrospectively identify trends in the representation of female authorship in prominent general radiology journals over the past 2 decades. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted for all articles published in 1993, 2003, and 2013 in Radiology, the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), European Radiology, and Investigative Radiology. The genders of...

Recently, design reuse has emerged as a dominant integrated system design and integration paradigm. However, the intellectual property (IP) business model is vulnerable to a number of potentially devastating obstructions, such as misappropriation and intellectual property fraud. We propose a new method for IP protection (IPP) which facilitates design watermarking at the combinational logic synt...

I n recent years, seemingly frequent examples of problems related to the integrity of authorship and publication have plagued the medical literature. These issues have been primarily related to the appropriateness of authorship (including ghostwriting and so-called " guest authorship " of manuscripts), duplicate publication of articles, plagiarism, scientific misconduct in the form of falsifica...

Authorship attribution assigns works of contentious authorship to their rightful owners solving cases of theft, plagiarism and authorship disputes in academia and industry. In this paper we investigate the application of information retrieval techniques to attribution of authorship of C source code. In particular, we explore novel methods for converting C code into documents suitable for retrie...

The authorship attribution is a problem of considerable practical and technical interest. Several methods have been designed to infer the authorship of disputed documents in multiple contexts. While traditional statistical methods based solely on word counts and related measurements have provided a simple, yet effective solution in particular cases; they are prone to manipulation. Recently, tex...
