Are you thinking of collaborating with me?

You are reading this because you are thinking on collaborating with me. First of all let me tell you that I have the firm conviction that knowledge and scientific achievements are to be shared and in that respect all knowledge must be freely available. In that respect:

If we produce software, it will be licensed with a GNU Public License or equivalent and it will be available to the general public as soon as possible.
Our articles will be posted on the arXiv at the same time (or very soon after) it is submitted to a journal for consideration.

I dislike a lot the growing tendency of adding authors to a research paper just because of some silly arguments such as: friendship, convenience, etc. So please, do not include me on those kind of projects and do not try to convince me that someone that has done nothing on an article should be included in the list of authors.

Due to a number of facts (evaluations, possible misunderstandings, academic abuse -commonly practised by a supervisor or a boss to a student or researcher-, etc.) I have decided the following:

Following the Hardy-Littleton rule, all authors will appear in alphabetical order.
All authors will be correspondent authors of the article.
-NB. Even if for some reason you are evaluated by a first author scheme, you will be the correspondent author of the article which in evaluations schemes it means that you are the chief project or director of the article.
If we are asked officially who did what and in what percentage (as some journals are doing, e.g. PLOS) then we divide everything equally for the sake of fairness since we are working as a group.

The previous two points also ensure that ghostly aviator authors that did nothing will not appear on a publication.

Please note that I am not the only one following this procedure. I see an ever growing tendency amongst theoretical physicists (not in all fields) to follow this tendency. Why? Because we want a fair, inclusive world.
