I have one of these. They thanked me at the end for the technical assistance of doing the whole thing.

Senior professor: Your work was instrumental in getting this published, and we think your efforts should be rewarded.

The reward: ๐Ÿ‘

don't get me wrong. Its was a written thank you at the end of the paper but it was not an authorship. That was actually pretty cool of them given the usual nothing at all.

Definitely better than nothing, I just think researchers should more liberally give credit where it's due, and although things are changing, I still see lots of people treat authorship like it's some precious commodity.

I mean literally a commodity. Use someones cell line. they get listed as author.
