Timeline for I am not getting academic credit for code I have written for my PhD, when it was later used in other research. Should I complain?

| May 28 at 3:42 | comment | added | Quasark | First, let me stress that PI and X are both in HSC, so I wouldn't consider it a "third party" per se. There are numerous papers that have been produced that use the code, exactly as X's paper, some of them mine, some other not. And HSC is aware of this. Why cannot those papers be cited along with X's? Why should be X's paper the next best thing? This is what I don't fully get. | |
| May 28 at 2:42 | comment | added | Jeff | How can you expect a third party (HSC) to credit you if you haven't produced anything citable and X's paper is the next best thing? | |
| May 27 at 9:28 | comment | added | Quasark | In the three years since the group decided to release the code, I did nothing that could block or delay its release, but also I could do nothing to accelerate it. Still, the release hasn't happened yet. | |
| May 27 at 9:11 | comment | added | user2620379 | that's why you release your code! | |
| May 25 at 21:36 | comment | added | Quasark | Many have modified the code since I left, including X and myself, with my latest major contribution dated end of 2023 (in my spare time, as I graduated in 2020). This contribution is still in the current (unreleased) version. Yet, of all the people that modified the code, only X has been credited in the latest papers of HSC, which I find unfair (notice that X is listed as one of the authors of the papers, meaning that X could have credited everyone, if they wanted to). I don't want X to be removed from the citations, I'd just wish for other people (including myself) to be credited as well. | |
| May 25 at 20:55 | comment | added | cag51♦ | Are you certain that the code has not been changed since you left? Or is it possible that you wrote the first version of the code, and others - perhaps even X - have written later versions? | |

No need to mark what has changed, we have revision history. Fix typo.

| May 24 at 13:57 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | "My understanding was that, whenever the code were used in a research paper, I would at least be offered authorship of the paper" - this is not a standard for authorship. For papers where you specifically wrote code for that paper, authorship may be reasonable when that entails a substantial intellectual contribution (which it almost always does). Subsequent papers that reuse that code do not earn you authorship, they earn attribution/citation. | |

| May 24 at 12:52 | comment | added | Captain Emacs | What is the copyright/authorship blurb in the code? Is there any? For instance, if it were GPL'd, your author name would have to appear in all code derivatives (if I am not mistaken, it's a time ago that I looked at such things). | |
