Just notify your coauhors that you will finish the job you started with them. If they hijjack your paper, two quite similar versions will be submitted. No one will benefit from that embarrassing situation. You will have proof (based on current concepts) that you are the rightfull first author. | |

But you are leaving, so how would he do that? He could falsify a lot of records, but that brings him into jail if it fails, as it will if you sign your emails and keep copies. Unless he's a mad idiot, he's not going to risk that. | |

| Jul 4, 2018 at 7:25 | comment | added | Academia.jpg | @Alice I am close to completion of paper, not close to submission; journal's call for paper opens in October. How do I say 'No' when I will not be in the research institute to ensure control? I see no reasonable way to put a pristine draft in his hands, leave the research institute without an iota of doubts when the research fellow in question has at least 2 isolated case of hijacking paper? Edit: I have stated that that his lack of technical skills are from my direct observation. | |
| Jul 4, 2018 at 6:47 | comment | added | user93911 | I do not understand your concern. You are close to submission. Are you concerned that your last coauthor/supervisor will suddenly claim to be first author? Then just say no. Second, in my field first and last authors are the most important ones on publications. The first author carried out the research, the last author supervised / is the chair. An industry research fellow with 20 years of experience would be better off as last author (reputation wise), I guess.You may want to consider removing your ‘facts’ about his background because I think these are opinion based. | |
