  What about “co-authoring”?

I looked in this topic specialized in academic writing for a thread dealing specifically with coauthoring but couldn’t find any. So I propose to discuss the subject within this tread. The main question being how scientific social network such as researchgate can be used to enable co-authoring but all contributions are welcomed (other collaborative tools, experiences, issues, good practices, advices…)

Dr Kennedy: thanks for summarizing but what about the "call to co-autoring" launched by Eleonora Maryanova: "The Art in the field of the education as a bridge among the people's hearts" where "Everybody from all over the world is welcome"? This sounds to respect all Mauricio Abreu Pinto Peixoto criterias here above mentioned. What other advices would be necessary in this live "case study" of co-autoring project?

Since the he graduated and his parts of the work are almost gone or completely changed because of revisions. He has not been involved in the paper for months and has not done any revisions since the paper was sent for publication. Should he get co-authorship?

  How far are scientists willing to go to publish their rejected articles or scientific reviews?

Asking 9 university-based physicians, 5/9 reported to have 1 to 3 papers into their personal files. Would be glad to hear from a "larger size", do you have unpublished papers?

  Why does every journal have their own style in editing manuscripts?

  Why can't all journals have uniform editing style of both content and references ? Some of the journals' endnote style even doesn't exists in endnote style library.

    It has to do with the discipline but since the thesis is an academic requirement, I advice you to get your advisors' recommendation.

  What defines scientific writing; Suspense Writing, or Simple Writing?

  Suspense Writing: Adding spice to your article by not exposing what exactly is done; rather, twisting the tale in your introduction, explaining a brief methodology, results with confusing tables, butSuspense Writing: Adding spice to your article by not exposing what exactly is done; rather, twisting the tale in your introduction, explaining a brief methodology, results with confusing tables, but still ABLE TO FIND A LINK for everything in the DISCUSSION part and concluding with eyes on the future. Simple Writing: Being straight forward in explaining what exactly was carried out with a detailed methodology supported by apt results/tables and a simple discussion that DESCRIBES THE EXACT OUTCOME of the study.
