Rethinking authorship in conservation science
The conservation science community of today is at a crossroads as we confront racist and otherwise oppressive histories across different spheres, disciplines and scales. This can be viewed as an opportunity to bring this important dialogue to the fore of our field in thinking about who is considered as co-authors and experts on a given subject. To that end, we argue that it is time to revisit authorship criteria to better acknowledge the diverse ways in which different individuals contribute to conservation science research.
This workshop follows Steven’s recently published article in Issue 2:2 of Ecological Solutions and Evidence.
