According to Edward Tufte, in his book Beautiful Evidence, the author’s name is important to include for many reasons, such as signifying that someone is taking responsibility for what is contained in the printed work, providing the contact name for follow-up questions, and signaling reputation (or lack thereof). Furthermore, he states, “Authorship credit is too often absent from corporate and government reports; we should remember that people do things, not agencies, bureaus, departments, divisions. People may do better work when they receive public acknowledgement and take public responsibility for their work. The good [Charles Joseph] Minard put his name on nearly all his work and personally signed with pen and ink … some of [his] … figurative maps.”
