Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Authorship credit should be based on significant intellectual contributions to the research, such as conceptualization, design, execution, or interpretation of the data. In this scenario, only Misty made significant contributions to the design and execution of the experiment. Answering a few statistics questions and providing laboratory space, as done by the faculty supervisor and department chair respectively, do not constitute significant intellectual contributions warranting authorship credit.
