Existing guidelines for authorship are lacking in specific detail, differ from discipline to discipline, implicitly or explicitly contradict each other on many issues, and are therefore open to varying interpretation by different people. In order to encourage and facilitate consistency and fair acknowledgement of contributions to publications, a Points System was developed for evaluating 13 categories of contribution by individuals. The system is intended for use in determining who should be listed as authors, and in what sequence names should appear by enabling points "earned" through contribution to be then "spent" in purchasing authorship. The system is based on ratings of perceived values of the contribution types obtained from the staff of a multi-disciplinary research centre, but it can readily be adapted to the local needs and values of any research group. The system is likely to be particularly useful in relation to complex research projects and programs, to which a number of individuals from different disciplines make contributions over time, and/or from which several publications are derived.
现有的作者身份指南缺乏具体细节，因学科而异，在许多问题上隐含或明确相互矛盾，因此不同的人可能会有不同的解读。为了鼓励并促进对出版物贡献的一致性和公平认可，开发了一种积分系统来评估个人的13类贡献。该系统旨在用于确定谁应被列为作者，以及姓名应以何种顺序出现，通过贡献“获得”的积分随后可用于“购买”作者身份。该系统基于从一个多学科研究中心的工作人员那里获得的对各类贡献感知价值的评级，但它可以很容易地根据任何研究团队的当地需求和价值观进行调整。该系统可能在复杂的研究项目和计划中特别有用，在这些项目和计划中，来自不同学科的许多人会随着时间的推移做出贡献，和/或从中衍生出多篇出版物。
