Co-authorship in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Authorship of a scholarly journal article claims recognition for a 
contribution to an original piece of research, along with any moral or legal 
rights that confers. Authorship credits are also an increasingly important 
currency of academia, vital for career progression, funding, and success 
in research assessments1
. It is therefore not surprising that the issue of 
authorship is under significant scrutiny and is among the most common 
concerns in publishing ethics
