all,<BR><BR><BR>> That said, German and/or Hong Kong law may be different, and there is <BR>> of course a difference between legally requiring permission and <BR>asking<BR><BR>> or even requiring authors (in a self-deposit model) to notify their <BR>> co-authors as a courtesy.<BR><BR>That's a good point. It's not only a question of courtesy, but also to<BR>ensure, that the author "knows" of this publication.<BR>Attended a conference some weeks ago and there was an interesting<BR>section about plagiarism and authorship more generally speaking.<BR>One of the many examples was a case where someone proclaimed not being<BR>the co-author of a certain publication and knowing nothing of it.<BR><BR>Claudia</div> <div> </div> <div><FONT></FONT> </div> <div><FONT>*******************************************************************************************************</FONT></div> <div><FONT>My reply:</FONT></div> <div> </div> <div>Besides some research
groups like to have every one, including the janitor listed as an author.... </div> <div> </div> <div>The work is seldom done by more that three ppl, and they use even the juniors that read the paper as authors.</div> <div><FONT></FONT> </div> <div><FONT>Every country has it's own set of conventions about listing.
