The UP Manila Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has released the Authorship Guidelines for Scientific Work, launched on March 12, 2025. The manual promotes transparency, proper credit attribution, and accountability in scholarly work. It addresses key issues researchers face, such as what qualifies as substantial contribution for authorship, whether offering authorship to department chairs or senior faculty is ethical, if advisors can claim first authorship on student publications, how to distinguish authors from contributors and those acknowledged, how to resolve authorship disputes, and whether AI tools like ChatGPT can be credited as authors.

The manual was edited by Dr. Edward Wang, Dr. Jean Anne Toral, Rufus Thomas Adducul, and Dr. Jacinto Blas Mantaring III, and reviewed by Prof. Daniel Barr, Principal Research Integrity Advisor at RMIT University, Australia. It was developed with insights from Focus Group Discussions involving students, PGH trainees, REPS, and faculty.
