I just use endnote i like that it updates the references while I write

If your project isnt working out that just leaves more time for a fab lit review on your project, and setting up how you want your project to go. Is it just one experiment that isnt working? Maybe you can try another part of your project or does it all hinge on that part of the project?

I have a question - if a secondary supervisor hasn't done any of the work, not contributed any funding and hasn't read the article - do they still get their name on the paper as an author? That is pretty much the situation I am in at the moment as my primary supervisor believes that since he hasn't added anything to the paper he shouldn't have his name on it. Any advice?

I have submitted a paper (YAY me) to a particular journal - my primary supervisor has his name on it, my secondary supervisor who I see very rarely, who had no hand in funding and didnt contribute to the article in any way, wants his name on the article. My primary has issues with this and has voiced them, leaving me in the middle of it - any advice about this situation?

Cheers
