Quote:quote:My view is that the main author or editor, plus those who have contributed actual content for the report, should be identified by name in the report. Acknowledgement of the wider team that has contributed to the project, but not the report, is nice but not essential.
That is almost my view, with the two exceptions of crediting the team who supplied the primary data... maybe not essential, but perhaps respectful. And of course as an AAI&S member... the Illustrator, who often plays a pivitol role in any report... a good written report can be brought down by bad illustrations and a mediocre written report can be lifted with illustrations that make the points visualy that the written word has failed to convey. The ilustrator is as important - and should be credited as such in the same way as other contributing authors.
Illustration not being an afterthought a hobby or a couple of scribbles and location map...!
