Kim helped to set-up the spectrometer that was
used for collecting data that was presented
in the paper.
Should Kim be a co-author on the paper?
Jan collected, analyzed and interpreted half of
the data that is in the paper but does not want to
be listed as a co-author.
Is it okay to remove them and publish the paper
anyway?
