Of course, it's useful to bear in mind that human psychology also has a role to play in authorship conflicts. It is quite common for individuals to overestimate their own contribution to the work of a team, especially when the outcome is positive. Nelson et al. (2020) examined the phenomenon in the context of scientific publishing and found that authors almost universally over-estimated their own contribution to a project, at least with respect to how their team members perceived it.

At each stage of a project, different factors may work to distort, conceal, or amplify the contributions of some authors or potential authors. Take a few minutes to consider each project stage and how misperceptions might arise.

## Opt-in v. Opt-Out

There are two major ways to approach authorship, whether you're talking about papers, derived data, or software. Opt-in approaches require individuals to be invited to or request involvement in a product and set basic criteria for authorship. Opt-out approaches assume that anyone contributing data, or making contributions to, say, the R repo behind a package, will be credited as an author.

Some collaboration efforts use a hybrid system, where the primary paper issuing from a data assembly effort is expected to use an opt-out model (and therefore includes all the data contributors), while subsequent papers require potential authors to opt-in and participate in developing the analysis and writing the paper.

Researchers can be reluctant to opt-out of a paper for many reasons. They "should" have time. They need the paper for their CV. Or they are just embarrased to have misjudged their own capacity to contribute. If you find that you can't contribute at a level that warrants authorship, the kindest thing you can do for your co-authors is to opt out.

Authorship is also not the only way to recognize contributors. When funding is the only contribution to the research, funders should appear in the acknowledgements section. Other contributions, such as translation, line editing, acquisition of permits, or other logistical support are also appropriate for the acknowledgements section, when the relevant individuals have not also contributed to developing the study and writing the paper. Data providers who have not contributed to study design should be credited by [citing their data](https://edirepository.org/resources/citing-data), in the references using a doi and appropriate bibliographic information.
