Collaboration is increasingly important for researchers in all disciplines. Universities and funding bodies tend to prefer projects that involve interdisciplinarity, collaboration between different institutions, and international consortiums. Such projects can yield great benefits, but they also pose particular challenges for certain aspects of research integrity, and particularly for awarding credit and authorship. In this article, we describe and analyze the phenomenon of the ghost collaborator, who is initially fully involved and makes a full contribution to a project's design, but then finds him- or herself excluded from meetings and publications.
对于所有学科的研究人员来说，合作正变得越来越重要。大学和资助机构往往更青睐那些涉及跨学科、不同机构之间合作以及国际联盟的项目。这类项目能带来巨大益处，但它们也给研究诚信的某些方面带来了特殊挑战，尤其是在授予荣誉和署名方面。在本文中，我们描述并分析了“幽灵合作者”现象，这类人最初全面参与项目并为项目设计做出了充分贡献，但后来却发现自己被排除在会议和出版物之外。
