An authorship of research is a formal connection between a researcher and Flinders University, including their relevant College, Centre and/or Institute where possible.
When authoring a research output, Flinders University must be identified as the affiliated organisation in the author by-line for all Finders University-related research outputs.
This includes all research outputs of Flinders University staff, HDR students, and research outputs of Flinders University academic status holders where the research has been conducted, funded or otherwise supported by Flinders University.
When the by-line order and form are not dictated by a publication, it must include:
• “Flinders University” without acronyms or abbreviations
• The College name (e.g., “College of Business, Government and Law”)
• Any Academic Senate-approved University Centre or Institute (e.g., “Medical Devices Research Institute”)
• Location (e.g., Adelaide, South Australia or Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia)
• External affiliations relevant to the author as a separate affiliation.
All authorship of research requirements are detailed in the Authorship of Research Outputs Procedure -Schedule 1. Approved authorship bi-lines for each College are available here.
Who ensures that Authorship of Research affiliation is correct?
Each researcher must ensure their authorship of research affiliation is correctly recorded on all research outputs.
Publishing with an ORCiD:
Publishing with an ORCiD helps ensure that your research is correctly attributed to you, even when there are variations in name usage or institutional affiliations. ORCiD provides a unique, persistent identifier for each researcher, making it easier for systems like Scopus and ResearchNow to track and link research outputs to the correct person. This prevents misattribution, especially in cases of common names or changes in affiliations, Learn more about ORCiD here, including tips for maximising its benefits.
