Abstract

One issue that concerns today is the indiscriminate inclusion of co-authors in a publication, which sometimes does not contribute substantially to the manuscript. Until a few years ago, the publication of articles was motivated mainly by the desire to communicate the scientific contributions that contribute to the improvement of society; now this has changed a little due to the pressures and demands of publishing a minimum of writings either to stay as a teacher, receive funds or other factors. Therefore, the present communication invites the authors that when they decide to include co-authors in their texts, reflect taking into consideration the postulates analyzed here, in order to make the decision based on criteria that support their position.
