Sarmia et al. - in anticipation of a thread that may develop on the topic of authorship, and as a bit of a plug for our upcoming paper:
In an article scheduled for the October issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, we explore trends in authorship in ecology, discuss the need for guidelines for author inclusion and byline order, and recommend several simple ways to better communicate the contribution of individual authors to the readership at large. The citation is: Weltzin, J.F., R.T. Belote, L.T. Williams, J.K. Keller, and E.C. Engel. 2006. Authorship in ecology: attribution, accountability, and responsibility. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 4(8):in press. I would be pleased to distribute a pdf reprint of the article after 1 October to anyone who requests a copy. Cheers, Jake Jake F.
