作者
最近发表在《公共科学图书馆》（PLOS）上的一项调查显示，在6000位被引用最多的作者中，有一位研究了作者是如何被分配的，以及作者对什么样的投入有何评价。结果表明，人们重视的活动超出了写作和分析数据，但意见是两极分化的。

INASP describes how, based on the results of a recent study, their approach to ensuring equity in research will be refocused on supporting researchers wherever they are, and supporting research wherever it is. They will particularly focus on increasing awareness and researchers’ skills, increasing availability of a broader range of research and strengthening national information access systems.

A survey of 372 Editors found an average of 2-5% instance of plagiarism in submissions, but that Editors tend to overestimate the problem, with Editors in Asia both experiencing and expecting higher levels of plagiarism. The majority of duplication is caused by misunderstanding of what can be repeated, along with language issues.
