Policy on Authorship of Work published Jointly by Faculty and Graduate Students in Classical Studies (CLST)
1. Students and faculty in CLST are expected to produce original scholarship.
2. Students have a right to publish their work.
3. All student work produced to fulfill degree requirements is the property of the student.
4. The ideas exchanged in the context of a seminar or a private discussion are not to be regarded as common property. Students and faculty are expected to be scrupulous in giving credit to all those whose ideas contribute to their work.
5. Student work produced under faculty supervision, either in course, in the form of a thesis, or under an informal advising relationship, should be presented publicly under the name of the student alone, with due acknowledgement of the faculty member's assistance in the form of a footnote vel sim.
6. Any project undertaken jointly by students and faculty should be publicly presented as such. The collaborators should agree from the beginning that their joint efforts will be presented publicly under both names. The order in which the names of the authors will appear is a matter for them to decide. The following factors might affect the decision:
a. The respective contributions of the collaborators are unequal in size and scope. The name of the person who made the larger contribution to the paper should appear first.
b. The respective contributions of the collaborators are equal in size and scope;
-- The name of the person whose original idea led to the collaboration should appear first.
-- In recognition of the fact that the collaboration grew out of a student/teacher relationship, the student's name should appear first (as primary author), the faculty member's name second (as advisor).
7. If a dispute arises over the ownership of work produced within the context of a student's degree program or within a formal or informal collaboration, the matter should be brought to the attention of the graduate chair and then handled within the graduate group after appropriate consultation with the members of the graduate faculty.
