ATTRIBUTION

'Attribution' can mean:

★ Attribution (copyright), a concept in copyright law requiring an author to be credited

★ Journalism sourcing (or attribution), a journalistic practice of attributing information to its source

★ Attribution (psychology), a concept in psychology whereby people attribute traits and causes to things they observe

★ In art, the judgement by experts as to the author, date, or other aspect of the origin of a work of art. Works "attributed" to an artist are more firmly believed to be his than those "ascribed".
