Highlights：

• Five coauthorship credit allocation schemes were compared against empirical data.

• Overall Harmonic Scheme showed the best performance across various datasets.

• Performance of a scheme seemed to heavily depend on tested data.

• Operationalization of flexibility into schemes also affected performance.
