Authorship in academia often decides who is hired, funded or celebrated. Current authorship order methods like randomised or alphabet author lists are not equitable.

The first version of the Academic Wheel of Privilege (Elsherif et al. 2022) gained a lot of traction and social media attention! We considered feedback and consulted a diverse group of experts to make it robust, ethical, and more useful to the wider community. 100+ experts gave 30+ reviews 💚

Though mainly guiding authorship decisions, the AWoP has wider use cases: our materials can help teams discuss positionality and understand each others' perspectives and experiences as part of general team wellbeing.
