Research Lab Creates New Framework for Crediting Independent Collaborators
A newly published provenance document establishes formal protocols for recognizing and documenting independent collaborators in research initiatives, moving beyond traditional authorship models. The framework matters for organizations managing distributed teams and intellectual property: it clarifies ownership rights, protects contributor interests, and creates replicable standards for collaborative work in unconventional settings.
Originaltitel: Alice Thornburgh — Author Provenance Document (00.LAL.AUTHOR.THORNBURGH)
Author provenance document for Alice Thornburgh, Founding Director of the Living Arkitecture Lab (LAL). Alice is a collaborator, not a heteronym — a person with independent intellectual property, a garage laboratory in the Coachella Valley, and a Great Work. The archive's first peer collaborator. Follows the Rhys Owens provenance precedent (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18339350) for non-heteronymic collaborators. Part of the LAL Founding Triad: the LAL Charter (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545435), this provenance document, and the Transactions on Substrate Engineering Journal Charter (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19545439). Each document contains holographic kernels of the other two.
