me again. sorry all. I have written an article that I want to send to a journal for publication. I did this independently of work but it is connected to my work. my boss has asked me if I want to publish it with an institutional affilation. I am a bit reluctant. My prefered approach would be to use my job title and organisation with a note saying that the article is written in a personal capacity and does not reflect the views of my organisation. I would also mention some other work I do for an other institution. this is reasonably standard in my line of work.
my boss's way would be to just mention my main job and do away with the qualifying bit. If he puts his mind to it he might decide that he can;t let me do my preferred option - which would leave me omitting any mention of my job at all (which is with a very well-respected organisation in the field)
so I might be faced with one of two choices
name plus affiliation plus extra work (p-t lecturing) plus get out clause or just name plus affiliation
but if my boss is awkward the choice might be name plus affilation or just name plus p-t lecturing.
In either of these two choices which one is best, from a purely selfish career pov? On the one hand being able to publish in my organisation's name might look good. on the other hand I didn;t bloody well get paid for a single minute of the time I spent on it so I;d like it to be all mine!
any advice?
