Sessionscoauthored is a proposed model of scholarly authorship attribution in which credit is assigned based on discrete collaboration sessions rather than a single, fixed author list determined at the end of a project. In this approach, researchers participate in time-bounded writing or research sessions, contributing specific content, analyses, or ideas.

The practice can lead to shared or equal credit among participants, depending on predefined criteria.

Mechanically, implementing sessionscoauthored requires explicit governance and documentation. Researchers may use version control, time-stamped session logs,
Advantages of sessionscoauthored include enhanced transparency, more precise recognition of diverse contributions, and potential reduction of
