Abstract
It addresses authorship in the standardization of Brazilian documents, specifically through the norms of the Brazilian Committee of Information and Documentation by the Brazilian National Standards Organization. It aims to present and reflect on the concepts of authorship, analyze and compare the normative guidelines regarding authorship, and reflect on the Brazilian National Standards Organization norms and the authorial issue. It is a bibliographic, documentary and comparative research, based on the norms published by the Brazilian National Standards Organization. Therefore, the analysis possesses two aspects: the definition and structure of the document, where it is explained what each norm presents about the element of authorship, and the guidelines for describing authorship in the document. Finally, the norms present the relationship between their concept and the place of authorship in documents, as well as revealing the importance that is attributed to authorship in the elaboration and citation of documents.
