An icon in the field of gerontology

/in /by

Case study: Professor Conan Barbarian is an icon in the field of gerontology. He is the director of the Institute of Gerontological Research (IGR) at Jellystone University, a highly funded research lab in which several faculty, postdocs, and graduate students work. Professor Barbarian requires that he be listed as an author on all manuscripts based on research completed at the IGR. Is Professor Barbarian justified in his demand, or is this an example of ego gone wild?
