Identifying writing style shifts and variations are fundamental capabilities when addressing authorship related tasks. In this work we examine a simplified approach for unsupervised authorship and plagiarism detection which is based on binary bag of words representation. We evaluate our approach using PAN-2012 Authorship Attribution challenge data, which includes both open/closed class authorsh...

This paper gives an overview of the evaluation methodology applied to authorship identification solutions as part of PAN 2011. The two variations of authorship identification that were explored were authorship attribution, determining which of a known set of authors wrote a text, and authorship verification, determining if a specific authors did or did not write a text. We summarize the methods...

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...

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...

The aim of this paper is to determine the general preferential attachment function and author fitness in the temporal complex co-authorship and citation networks of the strategic management scientific community. These are often described as the rich get richer and the fit get richer phenomena. This has been done by means of the PAFit method using the community's flagship journal, namely Strateg...

Authorship is a problem in film studies that simply will not go away. Despite all sorts of arguments reducing authors to abstract entities such as author-functions, fictional surrogates, and implied authors, and eventually abandoning them under the mantra of “the death of the author,” we have not been able in our critical and historical discourses to shrug off talking about films as if they are...
