Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Occupational Therapy 2024–2025 211 • Coauthorship may be a complex issue in certain cases. It is suggested that authorship credit and order be discussed with all possible collaborators before and during the project. The Authorship Agreement for Research Form must be completed, especially with projects that involve multiple key contributors, to minimize the chance of misunderstandings. • Major revisions to a project may result in changes in authorship order and/or credit. Project changes may include, but are not limited to, addition of author(s) that provided needed expertise and omitting author(s) as expertise was not included after the revisions and/or where expected work effort was not delivered as originally expected or agreed upon. These changes should be discussed and agreed upon before, and during, any major revision process, and a new agreement form should be completed. • The following apply to institutional affiliations: − Publishers usually require each author’s institutional affiliation. − Authors should acknowledge the department and institution where the primary work was done, as well the current institutional affiliation of each author. − Department of Occupational Therapy, Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences, Nova Southeastern University is the institutional affiliation. • Authors must obtain approval from the program director, Department of Occupational Therapy, Nova Southeastern University, prior to submitting an abstract or manuscript to a publisher or a conference committee. Department approval serves to (1) protect the department, college, and university by allowing the program director (or designee) to review all submissions for appropriateness and acceptable standards, (2) recognize and record all department-related publications and presentations as program outcomes; and (3) assure that submissions provide appropriate credit and recognition. This policy applies to publication submissions; professional presentations; and posters by students, former students, alumni, and current and former faculty and staff members of the Department of Occupational Therapy, Nova Southeastern University, when applicable.
