DOI:
https://doi.org/10.19132/1808-5245253.269-295Keywords:
Single authorship. Scientific publication. Recognition by scientific community. Literature review.Abstract
This article addresses the single authorship in scientific publications. It uses literature review as research methodology with three different approaches: single authorship itself, with historical facts and other arguments defending its continuity; the gains of single authorship to the author throughout its recognition by scientific community; and the status of single authorship, presenting works on this theme and some researchers’ points of view. It ends stating that single authorship will remain, especially because it provides recognition.
