How could possible discrimination be avoided? We propose indices defined for each discipline (subfield) and which count the plausible contributions added up by collaborators, while maintaining the spirit of interdependency. Based on the growing debate about defining potential biases and detecting unethical behavior, a standardized method to measure contributions of the astronomical number of co-authors is introduced.enUniversity for CO-AUTHORSHIPCOLLABORATIONCITATIONSSCIENCEArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1139/cjp-2014-0412
