Science (general)
book on a new concept in scientific research
" Je vous en laisserai, soyez en sur, la paternité. Vous pourriez a ce propos en profiter pour me preciser la façon dont vous preferez être cité et quels sont les titres et fonctions que vous voulez voir figurer dans mon ouvrage "
The "Je" in question is a scientific researcher writing a book on a new concept for which he has borrowed an idea from another scientist and is asking his permission to include this idea in his book.
Can anyone suggest how I could translate "paternité" in this sense, meaning recognizing that the person to whom "Je" is writing was the actual inventor/originator of the concept in question. Many thanks for your ideas.

authorship
That's the term used for academics, which seems to be the case here.
"Authorship is an explicit way of assigning responsibility and giving credit for intellectual work."

: In a general context, yes of course; but Asker has made it clear that this is a special usage in the academic world, and this wouldn't really do at all there (unless it were being used figuratively, which it clearly isn't in the example given)
