Resum

Co-authorship in research publications is a clear example of scientific collaboration. Its study over time makes it possible to know the response of researchers to the evaluation criteria that public institutions establish to assess their performance. With this intention, the aim of this study has been to analyze the signature habits of Spanish researchers in Economic and Business Sciences in journals indexed in the Social Science Citation Index. Specifically, it is assessed how academic readers interpret the number and order of authors and designation of “corresponding author” in assigning credit and accountability for scientific research. Important changes over time and significant differences amongst the Economics and Business Sciences field that may be of interest mainly to those responsible for designing the promotion and accreditation systems have been observed. This would allow them to have a more accurate view of the real situation and of the adaptive process than they trigger off the scientific community.
