Is there a reason they don't print the high school students' names? It seems like they should be given some sort of credit for their work.

- extrapickles 8y agoThey are probably still minors, where laws get pretty odd around identity.
- denzil_correa 8y ago> laws get pretty odd around identity. I mean, their photographs are right in the middle of the article. Besides, the names of students are in the acknowledgment section of the paper. https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2018/08/aa33086-18/aa33086-18.html#ack https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2018/08/aa33086-...
- zonovar 8y agoYou can find their names at the end of the article. Hope this guys will keep working in the field in the future.
- panic 8y agoAh, you're right -- the "continue" button shows them. Never mind!
- mygo 8y agoBut on a journalistic note, isn’t it proper form for names to be above the fold? Maybe scientific journalism is different?
- targafarian 8y agoIt doesn't appear that the high school students are authors on the paper. Academic papers place authors at the top of the paper (some exceptions for e.g. huge collaborations with hundreds of authors) and acknowledgments at the end of the paper. It appears the article follows this pattern, so I don't find it at all "offensive" coming from an academic background; simply different conventions of where names appear, but they are listed.
