Some real-world authorship analysis applications require techniques that scale to thousands of documents with little or no a priori information about the number of candidate authors. While there is extensive research on identifying authors given a small set of candidates and ample training data, almost none is based on real-world applications of clustering documents by authorship, independent o...

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...

On the basis of an empirical investigation of archaeological information work, this paper discusses the interplay of authorship of documents and documentary boundary objects, and the practical authorship of social situations and identities and how a closer look at the authorship (as understood in the contemporary authorship literature) can be helpful in elaborating our understanding of the maki...

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...

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...
