Those academics! You are too optimistic, years, decades for responses to emails? Voicemail responses only come from the grave.

Responsiveness is also a vague concept.

I have found that it often takes months, sometimes years, to get email or voicemail responses from academics. If a professor takes 6 months to respond to an email, does that mean they shouldn't be listed as an author on publications?

Hello all,
The ESA criteria are essentially the same as the
'Vancouover protocol' by the International
Council of Medical Journal Editors.

 See

http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html

In the case at hand, if a person cannot be located, they cannot take responsibility.
And so cannot be listed as coauthor under the ESA and ICMJE criteria.

A note in the acknowledgements as to contribution, would be appropriate.

Yours in ethical publishing,
David S

Is that Entomological Society or Ecological Society?

* A code written of, for and by professors I am sure nonetheless.

Concerning the recent "query on authorship," there is no ethical ambiguity. The ESA Code of Ethics is quite clear on that point:

"Researchers will not add or delete authors from a manuscript submitted for publication without consent of those authors. Researchers will not include as coauthor(s) any individual who has not agreed to the content of the final version of the manuscript."

If you can't locate the person who contributed, that person can consent to the manuscript. Just note their contribution in the acknowledgements section of the paper.
