Properly assigning authorship of academic papers is often an ethical challenge. Through a hypothetical case study, the authors examine some of the potential ethical issues involved in determining who should and should not be listed as an author: the problems of honorary authorship, coerced authorship, and ghost authorship, as well as the question of how to order authors. Guidelines for avoiding...

Misuse of anonymous online communication for illegal purposes has become a major concern [2,12]. In this paper, we present a framework named ART (Authorship Recognition Tool), that is designed to minimize manual procedures and maximize the efficiency of authorship identification based on the content of Internet electronic documents. The framework covers the phases of document retrieval and data...

The friendship information of Rochester Institute of Technology students was collected through a custom Facebook survey. A social network was then constructed using that friendship data. The RIT Facebook network will provide a target network to which randomly simulated networks will be calibrated in order to repeatedly conduct Monte Carlo experiments on rumor propagation through a social networ...

The study analyses co-authorship and co-citation networks in Central and Eastern European Agricultural Economics literature from 1990-2013. Using a sample of 238 articles selected from 17 peer reviewed journals the results show that there has been an increase in collaboration between authors during the period with Western European researchers being the major co-authors with their CEE colleagues...

While traditional network security policies have been enforced by manual configuration of individual network components such as router ACLs, firewalls, NATs and VLANs, emerging enterprise network designs and products support global policies declared over high level abstractions [2, 1, 14, 13]. We further the evolution of simpler and more powerful network security mechanisms by designing, implem...

Multiple authorship is becoming increasingly common in bioethics research. There are well-established criteria for authorship in empirical bioethics research but not for conceptual research. It is important to develop criteria for authorship in conceptual publications to prevent undeserved authorship and uphold standards of fairness and accountability. This article explores the issue of multipl...
