Survey on authorship & acknowledgement
The Technician Commitment Steering Group carried out a short, anonymous survey on authorship and acknowledgement in Spring 2023. The survey was open to all technicians at the College (c.650 staff), and its aims were to:
- understand whether (and in what circumstances) technicians at Imperial are named as authors or acknowledged in research publications
- understand the impact of this
- seek views on how technical staff contributions to research outputs can be recognised
