About this session

A physics paper with 5,154 authors has — as far as anyone knows — broken the record for the largest number of contributors to a single research article. While this is an extreme case, research nowadays is increasingly collaborative, and the list of authors for a published work gets longer.

In this session, we explored what it takes to be an author, whether you should be listed as an author, and how to negotiate your authorship.
