Authorship and Contributorship

Overview

Authorship should reflect substantial scholarly contribution, accountability, approval of the final work, and transparent contributor roles.

Policy purpose

This page explains how Sciencevio applies Authorship and Contributorship in practical publishing, journal, conference, and editorial workflows.

Operational standards

The policy is applied through documented checks, editorial review, and record management.
