“…As such, each author is engaged in different tasks and roles in the research process – for example, the conception and design of the study; data acquisition, analysis and interpretation; the writing; or even revisions (Hackett, 2005; Sauermann and Haeussler, 2013). These functions can be identified by the position an author occupies in the by-line, in the relationship between the levels of maturity or specialization of the authors or in the type of participation in the established collaboration (Hilario et al , 2020). As stated by Costas and Bordons (2011), in most disciplines the sequence of authors in the by-line offers substantial information about the role of each author to the research or it at least allows readers to identify the authors who hold key positions for the paper.…”

“…Traditionally, the extent of each author’s contribution can be inferred from the order of their names in the by-line (Fox et al , 2018); however, the meanings of authorship positions vary across countries and research disciplines (Liu and Fang, 2014). There is also a growing number of authors who consider the corresponding author as the one who takes most of the responsibility for the publication (Hilario et al , 2020; Wouters et al , 2015). However, decisions about author position, the proper attribution of the corresponding author and the credit allocated between the first author and the corresponding author can be problematic and debates surrounding these issues are ongoing (Grácio et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Analyze patterns of co-authorship in hospitality and tourism (H&T) research using bibliometric methods. The purpose of this paper is to answer three questions related to collaborative practices, the number of authors, the order of signatures and the role of the corresponding author. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on the bibliometric techniques of authorship analyzes published in leading H&T journals. Evaluative techniques provide longitudinal evidence of the evolution of some indicators of authors’ collaboration: the percentage of alphabetized authorships; the percentage of articles were the most relevant author signs in the first, middle or last position; and the position of the corresponding author in the by-line. Findings First, the collaborative nature of H&T research is confirmed; almost 80% of articles in the sample are co-authored. Second, over the past 30 years, the alphabetized signature model has been in decline in this field. Today, about 20% of articles indexed in JCR journals are signed alphabetically. Third, the first author’s placement is less consistent than that of the corresponding author. Practical implications This work provides relevant information on researchers’ authorship habits that may help evaluators assign credit and accountability and avoid malpractice in the authorial assignment. Originality/value This study explores the habits of researchers who collaborate to improve their productivity, impact and reputation. This is often linked to facilitating access to research funding and obtaining recognition from incentive systems. Yet, no research specifically examines trends in signature order or the corresponding author’s role in the H&T field.
