La autoría compartida de las publicaciones científicas es la consecuencia necesaria de la investigación compleja y multidisciplinar. El gran número de colaboradores que se requiere para el cumplimiento de una tarea de investigación genera al momento de publicar, una disyuntiva entre créditos y responsabilidades por lo presentado, que la normatividad editorial aún no ha podido conciliar. A esta dificultad se suma la presión sobre el investigador por parte del sistema académico-investigativo actual por aumentar el número de publicaciones a su haber, lo que en ocasiones lo lleva a realizar conductas inapropiadas para atribuirse una autoría inmerecida. Las propuestas para disipar la tensión de la autoría (créditos versus responsabilidad) no son inspiradoras. Más que políticas de grupo o institucionales o normas restrictivas internacionales, la autoría científica implica valores éticos fundacionales: honestidad, confiabilidad, equidad.

Complex and multidisciplinary investigation is a cause of multiple co-authorships. Actually, it is necessary a great number of collaborators to accomplish a scientific work. When it is time to publish the article, it is difficult to resolve the dilemma between credits and responsibility, neither applying editorial standards. More difficulties are added when researchers are pressed by academic and research institutions to growth up the number of their publications, which may impel them to improper conducts in order to get undeserved authorships. Alternatives to dissipate the authorship tension (credits vs. responsibility) do not inspire solutions. More than group or institutional politics or international restrictive norms, which scientific authorship needs are foundational ethics values: honesty, trustworthy and fairness.
