Not clear.  That question wasn't asked.

In fact, it's not clear that only 20% want their name cited.  If you ranked
"full list of authors must always be copied" second, does that mean that you
expect all authors to be listed, but just that you expect something else
more, or does it mean that you don't expect all authors to be listed at
all?  It's not clear.  The survey methodology was horrible.
