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.

Authorship in academia often decides who is hired, funded or celebrated. Current authorship order methods like randomised or alphabet author lists are not equitable. (see: https://forrt.org/awop)

We’re *SUPER* excited to share 🌟 The Academic Wheel of Privilege 💫 which an equity-based tool for authorship order.

Authorship order is often treated as a technical or administrative detail. But it is also tied to recognition, promotion, prestige, & career opportunity. When authorship decisions are framed as “neutral”—for example through convention, alphabetization, or randomization—they may still reproduce existing inequities rather than correct them.
