ethics, standards, cooperation, authorshipAbstract
The goal of the article is to identify such organizational solutions in the field of research collaboration with students that would be ethical from the perspective of subsequent co-authorship of articles and beneficial to both students and academic staff. For this purpose, we consider three different models of working together (coordination, cooperation and collaboration) which organize relations in the team in a specific way. We consider the possibilities and limitations of these models against the background of contemporary challenges of academic work and formal requirements for co-authoring articles This will result in a comparison of the opportunities and threats of individual solutions, which – together with three models of organizing collective work – can form the basis of a decision-making scheme on how to organize such work with students.
