i don't understand why they should be removed even if replaced by a common list:
(1) citing authors in the source files they contribute helps future efforts to research issues (2) citing authors in the source files they contribute helps in addressing any IPR issues that might arise (3) moving author citations to a common list will likely result in a disconnect between the author and the works they contributed, as the binding will tend to be lost (4) where is the harm in citing authors in the original contributions? overall, i don't see any upside to removing them, but only downside if I were a voting member in this PMC, I would vote -1 On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 12:54 AM, Jeremias Maerki <[email protected]>wrote: > +1 in general on removing author tags (it's a board recommendation after > all).
