A major study of the manipulation of citations has revealed that female academics are 38 per cent more likely to list co-authors who have contributed only minimally to their scientific articles or reports. This is according to timeshighereducation.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

THE STUDY<\/p>\n

\u2022 Was carried out by two researchers<\/a> \u2013Eric Fong and Allen Wilhite at the University of Alabama in the southern United States.
\n\u2022 35.5 per cent of respondents admitted having written in a co-author who had not contributed.
\n\u2022 More than 110,000 academics from many different disciplines were questioned about the subject and 12,000 of them responded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not only women feel the pressure to list more co-authors. Junior academics are also between\u00a0 40 and 90 per cent<\/secret>\u00a0more likely to write others on to the title page. The perceived pressure depends on the degree of security in their employment, the study shows.<\/p>\n

There is also a large difference in how much pressure the female and young researchers feel depending on their research area.<\/p>\n

Researchers working in the field of political science feel 44 per cent less<\/em> pressured to ‘divide’ out their authorship, while those working in the field that the University of Alabama classifies as ‘marketing’ feel 75 per cent more pressured than the average.<\/p>\n

Several explanations for the phenomenon<\/h3>\n

According to the study, there are several explanations for the phenomenon. The most common is that the co-author (s) listed are the manager of the female or young researcher and that it could affect their career prospects if they opposed it.<\/p>\n

Internal discussion of these issues on a university-by-university basis is needed, and there isn\u2019t a magic switch that will turn on or off such activities<\/p>\n

Allen Wilwhite, the author of the study<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Secondly, the researchers can feel the pressure from editors of scientific journals because it increases the status, value and impact of a magazine. 14.1 percent of the 12,000 respondents responded that they had experienced pressure from an editor.<\/p>\n

Financing is a third reason. It can significantly increase the chances of obtaining more financial funding to continue the work on their research project.<\/p>\n

A difficult, but necessary discussion<\/h3>\n

The authors of the study conclude that many academics participate in activities that they themselves find outrageous.<\/p>\n

And that it is naive to believe that academics are will not use primitive but career-promoting tricks. Their study shows the opposite, say the two researchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternal discussion of these issues on a university-by-university basis is needed, and there isn\u2019t a magic switch that will turn on or off such activities. But because it\u2019s tough to do doesn\u2019t mean it shouldn\u2019t be done,\u201d says Professor Wilwhite to Timeshighereducation.com.
