Abstract: | This essay discusses some of the problems with current authorship practices and puts forward a proposal for a new system of
credit allocation: in published works, scientists should more clearly define the responsibilities and contributions of members
of research teams and should distinguish between different roles, such as author, statistican, technician, grant writer, data
collector, and so forth.
