The rise of big team science has vitalized conversations about how scientific contributions are recognized and rewarded. This panel will discuss challenges with this complex area of research as detailed in Coles et al., (2022; 2023), with an emphasis on one of the central issues in these conversations – what constitutes authorship in science. Perspectives on authorship vary both within and between individual researchers, scientific organizations, publishers, and science stakeholders. Three panelists from big team science initiatives will review their perspectives and experiences with these issues–and audience members will be encouraged to submit additional questions and join the conversation.
