In academia, authorship of an article is claimed by those making intellectual contributions to the completion of the work. Authorship of articles is a primary basis on which many academics are evaluated. Collaboration in modern academics is very common, and issues of authorship are sometimes controversial.
Guidelines for assigning authorship vary between institutions and disciplines. They may be formally defined, or simply customary.
