Enhancing scientific discovery and problem-solving through integrated research.

Most group project participants recognize the challenge of maintaining clear channels of communication among team members. Powell Center collaborators are encouraged to discuss authorship and data sharing early and often. Publications resulting from Powell Center activities are authored by groups of researchers representing scientific fields with diverse views on authorship and data sharing.

Check the "Publication" section of the Ecological Society of America's Code of Ethics as a starting point for discussions about co-authorship. The Powell Center endorses these principles in establishing authorship. You might also wish to check guidelines published by the journal(s) to which you anticipate submitting your work.

The Powell Center Data and Information Policy outlines requirements for publicizing data generated by work supported by the Powell Center.

Download the Powell Center Code of Ethics, which must be agreed to prior to project initiation.
