Co-authorship on habré


Probably, each of us is born a lot of small improvements so I would like to see on your favorite theme online. A significant number of such proposals, controversial and not, were placed in a specially designed repository on github (see also a post limonte dedicated to this). For small things this is a good start (though, apparently, the patient is more dead than alive). I have a really great offer.




co-Authorship of articles




Why


the Quality of many publications on Habre not inferior to the best examples of specialized literature in the Russian language. Quite often in the preparation of large materials occurs tempting possibility of combining efforts.


Fresh example

In recent weeks habré successfully developed project community Open Data Science — an Open course machine learning. Typical completion the once looks like this:


the Article is written in collaboration with yorko (Yury Kashnitsky). Author homework – cotique (Ekaterina Demidova).

Why not give all the sponsors the outstanding portion of the recognition?


there is much to make fun of... hmm... careful attention to karma. But nevertheless Habr rests on the reputation of the members of the community, which to some extent reflect the karma and rating. All karmic dividends should not be limited only to the first author. I think it's possible to configure the system in such a way that the authors of the post could indicate in what proportion to be responsible for written. For example, in the case of three authors: 0.7 A + 0.2 B +0.1 C. Accordingly, the rating will be distributed in specified proportions.


pitfalls


of Course, such innovation could encourage some abuses, which to a certain extent to prevent restrictions. I see the following points.


co-authors. The academic world has long encountered a problem unlimited growth in the number of co-authors in scientific publications. I think, on Habre the number of sponsors you can restrict to some acceptable low level, e.g. 5.


charging accounts through co-authorship. The question of how this is problematic. But you can imagine that for some its interest in someone of the old-timers decided to take in sponsors any of the newcomers. You can protect yourself by entering a reasonable minimum threshold of karma, which becomes an available feature of co-authorship, for example, 10 or 20.


...


Probably there are other difficulties.


Let's discuss if it's worth it.
