Standardized Authorship Recognition Platform

Why This Universe? - 38 - The Nobel Prize's Greatest Misses (2025 Update)

Market Gap: Current authorship systems overlook contributions of junior researchers.

To address the issues surrounding authorship recognition in scientific publications, a platform could be developed that standardizes how contributions are attributed based on measurable input rather than seniority. This platform would allow researchers to log their contributions during the research process, providing a transparent and equitable method for recognizing individual work. For instance, it could include features such as contribution tracking, peer reviews of contributions, and a consensus mechanism for determining authorship order. By implementing such a system, we could mitigate biases that often exclude junior researchers and women from receiving due recognition, similar to the case of Jocelyn Bell. The target audience for this platform would be academic institutions, research organizations, and individual researchers looking to promote fairness in authorship recognition.
