majorgr: Exactly what I tell people. Just because you came up with idea, collected and analysed the data, wrote the project, edited and proofed it, stay up all night and used 2 years to complete it does not mean you own it. It is for your supervisor. |

I got to find out my own project was published by my supervisor 2 years after graduation. In fact, he didn't even acknowledge me in the publication, for a work I conceptualized and finished without any input from him. The painful part was that he included the names of 2 other lecturers in the publication without my name. I feel sad each time I think about it. |

meetme01: I am sure you don't much!!! Your points are not realistic �� and you sounded like you supervised yourself.....you lay the blocks (did the work) but you are not the contractor (your supervisor is). Who gave you the topic (conceived the work), who asigned the methodology, who represented the interest of the title at the university and guide your write up. I think you still need more education ��� 1 Like |

Dont ale a fuss out of this. As long as she credits you, of course, by including you as one of the authors. S/he would be the corresponding author and only her/his details would be there. Remember you don't have the authority to do a research and publish it. It can only be done by a professional. But don't worry now, you'lld do the same if you also become an academic (probably a senior lecturer or a prof?, so, relax, s/he's not stealing your work. Less I forgot, well done for doing a great work that your supervisor wants to publish it. Not many students' work get published by their supervisor in Nigeria. Most of them end up as puff puff and akara papers. hilltop007: |

PeaceJoyLove: Think outside the box. Yes, the students can bring a topic for approval, some supervisors give students topics, some supervisors sit down and brainstorm with their students. I have attended many updates courses on research developments both home and outside the shores of Nigeria. The last one I had was on implementation research last year. |

This is good sense. In academic one need ride on wings of a senior researcher. He should just get his name of the paper and make his advisor is recommender on his future endeavors. In academic you need ride on a big wing. majorgr: |

Oga,give him and let him use it,a day will come when they will ask for the real author for concluding part of the project |

hilltop007:Please, don't ever allow any supervisor to be the first author aka main author, for your own good if you're to further your studies abroad or to get a job in first world country where the competition is very high, most or even all requires, a research work done and published by you that's you being the main author, it single you out from the rest of your peers. As I am speaking to you now, my supervisor who has m. SC in steel and timber design is preparing to write GRE, with his research work in place just to get a job in the USA by next year. Do a go fund if it requires you to published your own research work but don't allow it. |

MufasaLion:Lies, that's intellectual theft, it is not practised in other jurisdiction maybe only in Nigeria. Are you aware of plagiarism is an intellectual theft if claimed ownership of such work. |

hilltop007: The last author in the list of authors is the principal investigator. He placed his email there as the corresponding author, because, he'll be asking most of the questions reviewers throw. If it's just two authors - his person and your person, your name holds the same weight as his. |
Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by Nobody: 2:32am On Oct 26, 2021 |
supereagle:There is nothing to think outside the box as its straight forward. If you dont have phd yet, it is unlikely you get your name as the principal author if the work is outstanding, and if you get it....good. Even in the US like I told you, the main lecturer finds money for the research. If students find money for it in the US as a form of grant, then, the professor cannot easily claim what are theirs. Or if the student is on scholarship ... difference case. Also, it depends on the Personality of the professor. Basically, keep it simple and straight forward. If your professor has claimed others students' work, do not give him innovation. Do normal stuff and get your A, leave the man and go look for your fund to carry out your research. That is when you will realise it is not easy to breakthrough and get fund. It pays to go under a respected name (allow him as the principal author) till you have a breakthrough and funds start coming your way. And if lucky, he can have you as the principal author from start. |

hilltop007: Do you mind briefing me about the project, I have a few people that might be interested in funding/financing it while you get commission. |
Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by cooooooks(m): 6:41am On Oct 26, 2021 |
You should be first author and him second author with Both Contact info. Very important if you'll need the work for further studies or abroad. Make sure the journal can be found on Wiley, Google Scholar, Worldcat. |
Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by MufasaLion: 7:36am On Oct 26, 2021 |
brandsoncharlie: Keep wallowing in your ignorance. Did I say it wasn't an intellectual theft? I said it do happen and not only in Nigeria. You're clearly not a student of science. Go and broaden your knowledge. Many innovations and ideas have been stolen by many innovators. |
Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by brandsoncharlie: 8:16am On Oct 26, 2021 |
MufasaLion:You have shown clearly that you don't know what you're talking about, I don't need to continue with you. Mr, Ideals aren't stolen they're improved upon. You don't know anything, wack brain. |
Re: My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by MufasaLion: 9:28am On Oct 26, 2021 |

Congrats on your interest and step starting out in academe publishing. Your concerns are valid. A couple of things 1.0 There are #differences between research and projects, though not disjoint. Not all projects are research. 2.0 Most universities have policies/rules on authorship. They are normally in the research sections or registry. 3.0 Roles and 'ranking' of authorship varies from disciplines/fields and Journal. Most will refer to ICMJE and/or APA guidelines. ICMJE: http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html APA: https://www.apa.org/research/responsible/publication APA: https://www.apa.org/science/leadership/students/authorship-paper Kindly bear in mind that authorship is not cast in stone though there are 'ethical morality'. I'll refrain from commenting on prevailing ethically conduct of Nigeria based academia. They are some with good ethics; at least the ones I collaborate and published with. hilltop007: |

[quote author=ivolt post=107051025][/quote] The only reason I advise students about to go for their PhD, to choose established Professors at the peak of their career, so they don't have to drag first authorship and other irrelevant academic politics with their supervisors. I had one and I am happy I did. It paved 'way' for me. |
