No Name Without a Contribution

The code of good scientific practice of the German Research Foundation (DFG), in force since 2019, sets the rules for authorship. An author is a person who has made a genuine and traceable contribution to the content of a publication. Eine Leitungs- oder Vorgesetztenfunktion begründet für sich allein keine Mitautorschaft. A leading or supervisory position does not by itself justify co-authorship. Eine Ehrenautorschaft, bei der gerade kein solcher Beitrag geleistet wurde, ist nicht zulässig. Honorary authorship, without such a contribution, is not permitted.
