| Sep 29, 2016 at 21:24 | comment | added | Salvador Dali | @ff524 the same thing can be said about a professor: before doing anything for a student he should said: "I am going to proofread this paper but expect to be first author, all intellectual property transferred to me and be an author on all you future papers." Don't you think that being an author just because you proofread something is taking advantage of your superior position? | |

I had someone put my name on a paper once (as secondary author) that I felt quite awkward about as it made things seem like I either did some of the work or was at least endorsing the work (which I wasn't). | |

| Sep 29, 2016 at 15:10 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | To follow up on my point, if you're just a student, and there is no faculty author on the paper, you might not even be entitled to list the school as an affiliation. | |

| Sep 28, 2016 at 21:42 | comment | added | Scott Seidman | Were you paid in some way? Did you get any course credit? Were you supervised during the experience? Are you listing your university as your affiliation address in the paper? Are you ENTITLED to do so? | |

| Sep 28, 2016 at 18:12 | comment | added | ff524 | Going forward, you should really make it clear before accepting anyone's contributions, what they can expect in return (e.g.: "Would you mind reading my draft and offering some comments? I will of course mention your assistance in the Acknowledgements section.") That way there are no mismatched expectations. | |
