But it means they'd have to invest a lot of additional work that would take time away from other things they need/want to get done. Also, the vast majority are going to be teachers, and for this career having published a paper offers no advantages in terms of how likely they are going to be hired. Of course the situation is different for those who want to pursue a PhD. | |

The students rarely have any interest in publishing their results. Can you elaborate as to why this is? I was absolutely thrilled when I got the chance to publish two papers along with my bachelor thesis studies.

(2) reading and approving the paper is not the same as "Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content". If that's the standard, and I'm not saying it necessarily should be, few if any of them are going to meet it. | |

To quote: "The criteria are not intended for use as a means to disqualify colleagues from authorship who otherwise meet authorship criteria by denying them the opportunity to [write/revise the paper or approve its final version]". You should ask the students to read and approve the paper (which they will very likely agree as it is not much work) thus enabling them to fulfill the criteria. | |

For instance, in my field, the student should be first author if, and only if, their last name alphabetically precedes that of the advisor (and other authors). | |
