After reading them, compare Dr. Schatten's contribution to the 2005Sciencepaper to Shamoo's and Resnik's criteria for authorship. Please also consider the judgment reached by the committee at the University of Pittsburgh and whether or not you think it was correct.

After reviewing those materials, consider the following two questions:

1. Do you think Schatten's contribution raises to the level of authorship?
2. Was Schatten only guilty of misbehavior or (given the assumption that authorship entails responsibility for the veracity of the content of a paper) should his willingness to put his name on a publication make him eligible for a more serious charge of willful misconduct?
