Discuss the possible actions that Alyssa can take. Note the implications, ethical, professional, etc., for each course of action
Consider the following scenario: “Who is the author?” Ben is a professor of health sciences. He is serving as program chair for a conference with refereed publications. Ben suggests to his graduate student Alyssa that she submit a paper to the conference because, even though he cannot support her trip to the conference (being held abroad), he will be there and can present her paper. Alyssa writes the paper and gives several drafts to Ben, who does not comment on any of them. All the research is original work done by Alyssa while she was funded by an external fellowship. She submits the paper listing herself as the sole author. Alyssa’s paper gets accepted. The conference informs her that she is required to attend to present her paper. Surprised, she asks Ben about this policy, given that he had made no prior mention of it. Ben replies curtly that Alyssa will have to make him a co-author on her paper. Alyssa finds this unreasonable, particularly since Ben did not provide her with any feedback on the submission. Alyssa cannot afford to attend the conference on her own (Dennis & Fisler, 2008).
