Étudiant et auteur: pourquoi, quand et comment!

A rare post in French on a conference I gave last year on the status of author taken by students, mainly in the context of sciences and engineering (my field) but pointers given are quite general.

Le titre de cet article est celui d’une présentation que j’ai donnée l’an dernier dans le cadre de la Semaine sur la conduite responsable en recherche 2019 organisée par l’Université Laval.

Cette présentation vient d’être mis en ligne et est disponible ici: https://youtu.be/7MEplFlwW30!
