CUREXO-IDS Policy on Joint Authorship

CUREXO-IDS would like to inform the general public that plans to avail of the department’s assistance and administration of studies and researches recently adopted a new policy that covers collaborative studies that involves two or more authors.


A document is now available from the department that requires all parties concerned to enter into a formal agreement.  Individuals engaging in a joint (faculty, non-teaching staff or students) research endeavor should agree among themselves the workload of each member and the extent of their participation up to the completion of the work.

The said document is supported by a succeeding form that supersedes the current agreement in case one member of the party fails to perform his/her responsibility or do his/her assignment  accordingly. It is initiated by any member of the group in case he/she feels that a certain affiliate of the study fails or ceases to provide significant contribution to the study and will also delay its completion. This manuscript is considered a legal document governing the responsibilities of each member of the team as well as their rightful titles according to their participation of the said study.

Interested parties may contact Ms. Joan Joaquino for its soft form, or call local 277.
