著作权和发明权是科学家个人建立其声誉和职业生涯的“归属权”。目前，关于研究小组内部捐款分配的社会和法律的规范因未能将个人捐款情况告知第三方而受到批评。我们研究的情况下，团队从事的“双重披露”，他们的研究成果，通过出版物和专利，并模拟初级或女性团队成员和高级（男性）之间的谈判过程。我们认为，前者可能放弃inventorship，以确保著作权，即使有权两者。基于680个“专利-出版物对”（相关的专利和出版物）的样本，我们发现，一个或多个出版物的作者经常不出现相关专利的发明人。对于第一作者和最后一个作者来说，这种情况发生的可能性较小，这与我们的模型和关于发明人的现行法律的规范都是一致的。然而，被排除在发明人之外的可能性也随着资历的增加而下降，而女性的可能性则增加，这只与我们的模型兼容。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Authorship and inventorship are "attribution rights" upon which individual scientists build their reputation and career. Social and legal norms concerning their distribution within research teams are currently criticized for failing to inform third parties on individual contributions. We examine the case of teams engaged in the "double disclosure" of their research results through both publications and patents, and model the negotiation process taking place between junior or female team members and the senior (male) ones. We suggest that the former may give up inventorship in order to secure authorship, even when entitled to the both. Based on a sample of 680 "patent-publication pairs" (related sets of patents and publications) we show that, very frequently, one or more authors of a publication do not appear as inventors of a related patent. This is less likely to happen for first and last authors, which is in accordance both with our model and the prevailing legal norms on inventorship. However, the probability of exclusion from inventorship also declines with seniority, and increases for women, which is compatible with our model only. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
