Research Integrity and Authorship - DCU Code of Practice on Authorship

The correct attribution of authorship rights is a key part of ensuring research integrity. Publication and authorship must be approached in a responsible, open, honest, fair and accurate manner. The DCU Code of Practice on Authorship seeks to provide clarity for DCU staff and students on the issue of authorship of research papers, reports or other research outputs. It should help to minimise disputes about authorship, protect researchers, including students and those on temporary contracts, and provides the basis for resolution of disagreements on authorship. The Code of Practice is accessible via the online Research Integrity module on LOOP, and via the Policies and Guidelines section of DCU Research Support website.
