“…Although contribution‐based and alphabetical author listings are the two norms in science, some research teams do not use either method to order names of authors. When contributions are considered equal, some teams use games of chance, such as a coin flip to determine order (e.g., Eisenberg‐berg & Lennon, 1980; Kirmani & Campbell, 2004; Manier, Apetroaia, Pappas, & Hirst, 2004) or proximity to tenure decisions (e.g., Roderick & Gillespie, 1998). Other papers list less descriptive methods by simply stating authorship was determined by “chance” (e.g., Markman & Gentner, 1996), “lottery” (e.g., Miyazaki, Grewal, & Goodstein, 2005), or “random process” (e.g., Balsam & Bondy, 1983).…”
