Prof. Carlos Baiz who spent the second half of last year in our labs as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow published an editorial on Authorship best practices in biophysics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.2023.03.009). He states that „[...] it is necessary to introduce up-to-date authorship expectations and best practices for researchers to evaluate individual contributions and clearly define the criteria for authorship. This editorial provides guidelines and resources to help junior researchers navigate the authorship process, approach potential issues and conflicts, and promote ethical authorship practices in the biophysics community.“ We cannot agree more.
