"The article indicates the contribution of each author. The original text is as follows: Author Contributions: L.B.B.and L.F.H., conceived the project, L.F.H.and J.-P.M.prepared gene-targeting constructs to generate the mice (Prepare necessary experimental materials), S.S.trained Z.Z.in gene-targeting techniques (responsible for technical training), Z.Z.prepared and analyzed the mice and provided all figures and data for the paper (implemented experiments, obtained data, provided data and charts) , and L.B.B.and Z.Z.wrote the paper (writing). Correspondence and requests for materials should be addressed to L.B.B (corresponding author is Linda B.Buck). Irregular signature: At this stage, there is indeed a problem of irregular signature of papers in China. , some are due to ignorance of the rules, and some are due to other reasons: 1. Named casually; regardless of whether they have contributed to the paper, as long as they are in a laboratory or a member of a research group, each member will sign his name on almost every paper. . This can increase the number of papers published by each person. 2. Leader's name: Sometimes some researchers put the leader's name on some papers in order to "coat up" with certain leaders or officials who have resources. Relevant leaders implicitly or actively request to be named. 3. Celebrities are used to name their names: Sometimes some scholars forcibly transfer the names of some highly knowledgeable scholars (such as academicians, etc.) without seeking the consent of the parties in order to facilitate the review or publication of the paper. Names (some may be their supervisors, etc.) 4. Names for professional title promotion; some people name papers without any contribution for the sake of professional title evaluation; 5. Forcibly name names; some project leaders or laboratories. Leaders force their names to be signed on all papers in the laboratory. 6. Buy names for certain purposes; for example, when high-quality papers are urgently needed for school evaluation and doctoral application, they use money to buy and sign papers. 7. Noting for the purpose of graduation and degree: In order to meet the requirements of the unit for obtaining a degree, some students are eager to graduate and obtain a degree and put their name on articles that they have not contributed to. Things to note by tutors and graduate students: due to certain interests (such as assessment, etc.) ), some graduate students publish their master's work in the name of the institution where they studied for the doctoral degree; or they sign the name of their doctoral supervisor; or they do not include the name of their master's supervisor in the paper, etc. This is very wrong. Everyone Both supervisors and graduate students must take these matters seriously. First of all, the property rights of the paper (results) belong to the original unit (the unit that received project support). Master's students must respect the work of their supervisors and not be too "snobbish". In the same way, after a doctoral student graduates, all data produced during the doctoral period must be published in the name of the original institution. The doctoral supervisor should be one of the authors (if the supervisor is responsible, he should generally be the corresponding author), and the original institution must be the first property owner. unit. "Visiting graduate students" problem: Due to the expansion of enrollment, some tutors have no research funds and no topics. Graduate students look for mentors who can provide experimental conditions and financial support. These students are called "guest graduate students." What’s incredible is that the student’s original institution clearly stipulates that these graduate students must be the first author of papers published and signed by the first institution before they can apply for a degree from the school.It is really hard to understand that there is no research funding, no research ideas, experimental conditions, etc., waiting to enjoy the results, and there is still such a request? I don’t know how such a policy can be issued? Which professors just agree? Regardless of the reputation and influence of the school? The problem of "multiple professors": Today, there are many problems with a paper being linked to many units. One is because there are too many part-time, "amphibious" professors and scholars; the other is due to the actual interest relationship. . Take a look at some of the so-called "independent innovation" high-quality papers in my country. In fact, they are the results of work done in foreign laboratories. Since he works part-time in a domestic unit (chair professor or the like), this scholar's name will have Two or even more units. There are also some scholars who, purely to increase the number of papers, put their name on papers that have nothing to do with their major. The same is true for the signatures of domestic "Professor Duoqi"'s papers. As a graduate student, you should also understand the issue of attribution of results: if the research projects, academic ideas and overall experimental design you are engaged in are completed (or are responsible for completion) by your tutor or laboratory leader, no matter how important the results are, , even if it is a Nobel Prize-winning result, the result should belong to this laboratory, your supervisor or project leader. Of course, the contributions made by graduate students cannot be forgotten. It should be admitted that many things in our country are being improved and some norms are being established. In the past, some things were indeed unknown (it is not an exaggeration to be ignorant), and some were driven by interests. For example, during performance appraisal, some units stipulated that the author with the highest signature would be assigned a higher score, and the corresponding author would also be assigned according to the ranking order. point. In this way, some corresponding authors' signatures appear in the middle or front position. These phenomena were common in the past few years and still exist now, but they have gradually become less common. As long as everyone understands the relevant rules and the relevant policies are gradually improved and reasonable, things will naturally be on track. However, it is a serious violation of academic regulations for leaders to arbitrarily decide the order of authors and for supervisors to gift the first author of a paper to someone at will.
