6. Authorship rules All papers submitted after 5 Aug 09 subject to these rules Papers to be published in journals. -- Determined by CMS Authorship committee. From now on it includes all CMS authors. Technical papers to be published in journals. -- ALL HCAL authors plus other names can be added for people who made substantial contributions but are not CMS authors (e.g. Engineers). CMS Notes. These are public notes accessible to anyone. Should include all HCAL author names. For technical papers -- other names can be added for people who made substantial contributions but are not authors (e.g. Engineers). CMS IN (Internal Notes) accessible to CMS members only. (Semi public, as over 2,000 people have access). To encourage HCAL members to write Internal Notes (IN), these papers can have limited list of authors. The authors submit the paper and if the Editor (in consultation with the HCAL community) believes the scope of the paper involves more groups than listed on the initial author list, the Editor informs the HCAL community and asks if anyone else requests their name should be included. Papers that include analysis of data, most likely should include all HCAL names. DN (Detector) papers. The submitter’s name(s) plus possibly a few more, decided by the submitter. CR (Conference Reports). The speaker(s) name. The author should include “On behalf of CMS-HCAL collaboration”.
