Arbitration or mediation could provide solutions to authorship disputes where few presently exist. Because authors recognize journals’ authority to make decisions about manuscripts submitted to the journal, journals are well placed to facilitate alternative dispute resolution processes.
Do research assistants get their name on the paper?
If the research assitant contributed to the research idea and/or the research protocol and/or made a contribution to the research and/or writing the research paper, her/his name should rightfully be included in the paper. If his work was a the basis of the study he should be included in the paper.
Can I remove my name from a paper?
Usually its not possible. once some article is published with your name. Its the authority of the journal whether they remove it or not.

Publishing a paper as the first author is very crucial for the scientific career of a Ph.D. student. Most Ph.D. programs worldwide require a Ph.D. student to have at least one first-authored paper in order to qualify for a degree. So an authorship dispute would be inevitable if two Ph.D. students were to work on the same project for their degree.
Can an editor ask an author for a copy of their paper?
If the editor can obtain signed consent from all of the authors, then he could consider retraction. Others suggested that the editor should do nothing. Regarding the issue of the recently submitted updated version of the same paper to another journal, the Forum noted that the editor has a right to ask the author for a copy of this paper.
