On the organization of joint work in the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of the Mining Institute

Abstract

Scientific research carried out jointly by several individuals always gives rise to rumors about the degree of participation of individual researchers in the overall work, and often these rumors take on a very unpleasant character. To avoid the latter, I consider it necessary to note that in works published jointly on behalf of myself and my students, both the topic and the plan for its development belong to me. Preparatory work, such as preparing solutions, determining and calculating their concentration, analysis, etc., is carried out entirely by my employees.
