Revisiting PhD Work: Ethical Considerations for Publication

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the ethical considerations of publishing research derived from PhD work. The individual seeks guidance on whether to include their advisor's name as a co-author, given that the advisor was not involved in the reinterpretation of the results. Suggestions include drafting the paper and consulting the advisor for their input on authorship. There is a strong emphasis on the desire for independence in publishing while maintaining ethical standards. Ultimately, if the work is solely based on the individual's own revisions and experiences, they are encouraged to proceed with publication, while still considering sharing a preprint with the advisor for transparency.

I revisited some calculations and interpretation from my PhD work and I want to publish it.
I do not know how to proceed to be ethic.
Should I write the name of my adviser there or not?
He is not involved in any change of my interpretation and also i was writing there the work is based on my revisited results from my PhD work.
Thank you!

Why don't you write it up then send a draft to your advisor and ask if they should be listed as a co-author? You will hear one of three answers, yes, list me, no don't or don't bother to publish this. I suspect you'll hear one of the first two and more than likely the first one.
 
I am sure if good for him to have one more paper too.
but I just want to be on my own not to ask him like in previous time when i was his PhD.
I want to be on my own and also ethic.
And the work I revised based on my latest experience, so it is out from what I was working on my PhD.
 
If you did the work without any input from your advisor, then go ahead and publish it. At least send him/her a preprint.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
