“…S2). Furthermore, the authorship form requires proper attribution of contributions with the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT, https://casrai.org/credit/, last access: 6 September 2021) and the use of the ORCID persistent digital identifier (https://orcid.org, last access: 30 June 2021), which can promote integrity in scientific publications (Brand et al, 2015;Haak et al, 2012;McNutt et al, 2018). These contribution statements lead to more accurate assessments, and all coauthors can receive adequate recognition (Sauermann and Haeussler, 2017).…”

Abstract. Authorship conflicts are a common occurrence in academic publishing, and they can have serious implications for the careers and well-being of the involved researchers as well as the collective success of research organizations. In addition to not inviting relevant contributors to co-author a paper, the order of authors as well as honorary, gift, and ghost authors are all widely recognized problems related to authorship. Unfair authorship practices disproportionately affect those lower in the power hierarchies – early career researchers, women, researchers from the Global South, and other minoritized groups. Here we propose an approach to preparing author lists based on clear, transparent, and timely communication. This approach aims to minimize the potential for late-stage authorship conflicts during manuscript preparation by facilitating timely and transparent decisions on potential co-authors and their responsibilities. Furthermore, our approach can help avoid imbalances between contributions and credits in published papers by recording planned and executed responsibilities. We present authorship guidelines which also include a novel authorship form along with the documentation of the formulation process for a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary center with more than 250 researchers. Other research groups, departments, and centers can use or build on this template to design their own authorship guidelines as a practical way to promote fair authorship practices.

“…While this is encouraging, further work in the community is needed to increase the representation of our black, Asian, minority ethnic, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and related communities (LGBTQ+), and disabled colleagues. For example, our LGBTQ+ colleagues may face additional barriers (eg, cultural and structural) to being “out” at work 4 . This highlights why strong allyship is required to create open platforms where people can not only present their science but also bring their whole selves to work.…”

In the midst of the chaos of the global pandemic, the online daily webinar series Blood and Bone was created. The series started with a blank schedule on a google doc and, with enthusiasm and participation from the hematopoiesis and hemostasis/thrombosis communities, was quickly filled through September 2020. In the absence of any editing of the speaker list, a diverse, well‐balanced, and scientifically exciting program emerged. The seminar is hosted on Zoom and live‐streamed on YouTube daily, and can accommodate up to 1000 attendees. Attendance has topped over 600 and averages 200 to 300 people daily; this has been sustained for 10 weeks. In addition, there is a weekly Thursday trainee series that hosts three 20‐minute seminars. In this forum, we reflect on a series that allowed global scientists to come together to help shape chaos into an opportunity for community and growth.

“…Being "out" as a member of the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and anyone who is sexually and/ or gender diverse) community should not affect your ability to conduct science. However, surveys of LGBTQ+ scientists highlight instances of discrimination and concerns over the impact their identity may have upon their careers [8][9][10]. Members of the transgender community experience greater levels of bullying and harassment and are most likely to consider leaving academia as a result.…”
