Collaboration among scholars has emerged as a significant characteristic of contemporary science. As a result, the number of authors listed in publications continues to rise steadily. Unfortunately, determining the authors to be included in the byline and their respective order entails multiple difficulties which often lead to conflicts. Despite the large volume of literature about conflicts in academia, it remains unclear how exactly it is distributed over the main socio-demographic properties, as well as the different types of interactions academics experience. To address this gap, we conducted an international and cross-disciplinary survey answered by 752 academics from 41 fields of research and 93 countries that statistically well-represent the overall academic workforce. Our findings are concerning and suggest that authorship credit conflicts arise very early in one's academic career, even at the level of Master and Ph.D., and become increasingly common over time.

翻译：学者之间的合作已成为当代科学的一个重要特征。因此，出版物中列出的作者人数持续稳定增长。不幸的是，确定列入署名的作者及其排序存在诸多困难，这常常导致冲突。尽管关于学术界冲突的文献数量庞大，但尚不明确这些冲突如何在主要社会人口学特征以及学者所经历的不同互动类型中具体分布。为填补这一空白，我们开展了一项国际跨学科调查，由来自41个研究领域和93个国家的752名学者参与回答，其在统计上较好地代表了全球学术工作者群体。我们的研究结果令人担忧：作者署名信用冲突在学者学术生涯早期（甚至硕士和博士阶段）就已出现，并随着时间的推移变得越来越普遍。
