Coauthoring is a collaborative process whereby multiple authors create the content of a written work. Coauthoring is very common in modern academic works, and in some fields is the norm. Coauthoring is often necessary because completing a given work may require broader expertise, equipment or resources than a single author can provide. Coauthorship may also occur for more political reasons, sometimes leading to controversy (see authorship). This article is a stub. You can help by [ expanding it].
