Abstract:

This hypothetical scenario is about a student who has to do an internship as part of an undergraduate program in mechatronics. The student contributed to a novel technology, but upon the project's success, the team decided to publish their findings without giving Amir authorship credit and offered to mention student contributions in the paper's acknowledgements section.
