      abstract = {Academic institutions may go beyond observing  lexicographic ordering of authors in attempting to  determine relative contributions to joint research. The  present article examines incentive issues arising when  applicants for promotion are requested to underline the  name of any principal author(s). This mechanism is not  generally incentive compatible. Recognizing the generally  sequential nature of contribution reporting, a scheme which  induces global truthful revelation is developed Punishment  is imposed on prior movers making claims of authorship  seniority which are contradicted by subsequent movers.  Where applications are simultaneous, contradicted claims of  seniority lead to group punishment in that no author is  promoted.},
