My project supervisor wants to take credit for my research work by hilltop007(m): 4:44pm On Oct 24, 2021 |
My final year project supervisor called me to summarize my research work of 2 years for publication. He sent me a copy of one of his ex-student work that he published. It was only his ex student who did the work with guidance from my supervisor, but the published paper has two authors; my supervisor (main author) and his ex student. Only my supervisor's contact was also in the paper. I strongly believe that's what he will also do with mine. Should I give him the go ahead? If I don't publish it, it will probably rot. Or is there a way for me to publish it myself? 13 Likes |

Actually you see most students don't know this, if it was your supervisor that conceptualize the work and gave you the idea on what to work on, then the work is actually his ideas, you only collected data and probably wrote the first draft. In this case, he is well deserving of first author because it was originally his idea. These days, ideas are not easy to come by, if they were why didn't you conceptualize the work? Also, I read somewhere and this is for a forieng institution that your desertation is the sole property of the university, they can decide to or not to include you even in the authors list, even if you take the university to court you can't win the case based on the existing rules. Thirdly, at the moment, you do not urgently need any publication for promotion so its ideal he becomes first author, publication are mostly needed in academia and I can see there is no urgency of you needing any paper at the moment based on your thoughts to let it rot. Besides, a good dissertation is a published one, wether first or last author you already score points as an author and you could use it to apply for scholarships if you are interested in furthering your studies, so it is one way or the other, in your best interest to get the work piblished. It was even nice of him to considered you as a co author, if you hear what other supervisors are doing eh you would be content. 303 Likes 19 Shares |

Reminds me of Rutherford law and how Rutherford the Chemist took credit for the discovery even though his students did all the work. I think it's normal in Academia 54 Likes 7 Shares |

majorgr: You don't understand research work. The researcher is the owner of the work and OP's name is attached to it has stated in the certification page (I certify that this research was carried out by .....) The supervisor can be sued for plagiarism and in a sane society, he would loose his lecturing job. It once happened to me during my NYSC. I was doing my PGDE and my supervisor was interested in my research, he tried it with me. All I did was to send few lecturers to let him know, I'd take drastic actions. We later agreed to co-author the work which we both use. OP, you are the researcher, your findings and recommendations is what you need to hold your supervisor's balls. Send close lecturers to him or the ex student to let them know if your work is plagiarised, you would take action(s) 47 Likes 3 Shares |

That's how they do, some are nice enough to include your name, others won't at all, despite you doing the bench work, spending the money and in some cases writing the manuscript. Just leave them oo send it to him and send your full details ,academics is like a cult, they all know each other. A colleague published his fiancees (both had their Msc in same dept, same year ) MSc project with both their names, he did the manuscript part, the fiancees supervisor also wanted to publish it sometimes later and it was discovered that same research work had been published in another journal, she was angry and they even had to apologize to her seriously , she was like the only way she would agree is if theywrite the journal to withdraw the article. They did for peace to reign. 4 Likes |

what is the topic of this your research paper? if its not related to solving insecurity challenges s in nigeria, or improving the economy of nigeria, or workable plans to impeach a stubborn democratic president then just do the work, allow your lecturer do his work and peacefully follow your mates and graduate. everything else is secondary for now. 7 Likes 2 Shares |
